Abstract

We consider a directed random walk on the backbone of the infinite cluster gener- ated by supercritical oriented percolation, or equivalently the space-time embedding of the “ancestral lineage” of an individual in the stationary discrete-time contact pro- cess. We prove a law of large numbers and an annealed central limit theorem (i.e., averaged over the realisations of the cluster) using a regeneration approach. Fur- thermore, we obtain a quenched central limit theorem (i.e. for almost any realisation of the cluster) via an analysis of joint renewals of two independent walks on the same cluster.
