The Manhattan and Lorentz Mirror Models -- A result on the Cylinder with low density of mirrors

Abstract

We study the Manhattan and Lorentz Mirror models on an infinite cylinder of finite even width $n$, with the mirror probability $p$ satisfying $p<C{n}^{-1}$, $C$ a constant. We use the Brauer and Walled Brauer algebras to show that the maximum height along the cylinder reached by a walker is order $p^{-2}$.
