- | Let $(U_i)$ be iid Rademacher random variables, i.e. $U_i=1$ or $-1$ with probability $1/2$ and set $S_i=\sum_{j=1}^iU_j$ the associated partial sum. Define $\Delta=\inf\set{t>0}{S_t=0}$. Show that $S_n$ returns to 0 with probability one. What is the law of $\Delta$? | + | Let $(U_i)$ be iid Rademacher random variables, i.e. $U_i=1$ or $-1$ with probability $1/2$ and set $S_i=\sum_{j=1}^iU_j$ the associated partial sum.
