The intrinsic length scale, the effective diffusivity, and the scale arithmetic #
The superdiffusive displacement bounds are stated in terms of the length scale
R(t) = ((ν t)^{2-γ} + c⋆ γ^{-1} t²)^{1/(2(2-γ))}
associated with a time t, and are proved at a scale 3^m above it. The
comparison that carries the proof from the time variable to the scale variable
is between R(t)² and σ_m t, where σ_m is the effective diffusivity at
scale 3^m. This file proves that comparison.
The deterministic profile of the effective diffusivity is
ν_eff(r) = (ν² + c⋆ γ^{-1} r^{2γ})^{1/2},
and the argument has two halves. The first is exact and needs no smallness at
all: whenever R(t) ≤ r,
|R(t)² - ν_eff(r) t| ≤ γ r².
Two elementary facts drive it. The defining identity of R(t), multiplied by
R(t)^{2γ}, gives the exact gap
R(t)⁴ - (ν_eff(R(t)) t)² = R(t)^{2γ} (ν t)^{2-γ} - (ν t)²,
and that gap is between 0 and γ R(t)⁴ because ν t ≤ R(t)² and because
u^γ - 1 ≤ γ u² for every u ≥ 1. The same inequality u^γ - 1 ≤ γ u²,
applied to u = r / R(t), is what lets the scale r be arbitrarily far above
R(t) at the cost of the factor r² on the right.
The second half replaces ν_eff(3^m) by the effective diffusivity σ_m of
the renormalization theorem, which is within a relative error
C γ^{1/2} |log γ| of the profile. Since γ ≤ γ^{1/2} |log γ| throughout the
admissible range of γ, the two halves combine into
|R(t)² - σ_m t| ≤ (1 + 2C) γ^{1/2} |log γ| 3^{2m},
which is the displayed comparison, with the constant made explicit.

2. The elementary inequality behind both halves #
3. The comparison at the intrinsic scale itself #
4. The comparison at a scale above the intrinsic scale #
The scale arithmetic, exact half. At every length scale r above the
intrinsic scale, the square of the intrinsic scale and the displacement
ν_eff(r) t differ by at most γ r².
The displacement never exceeds the square of the scale. At every length
scale r above the intrinsic scale, ν_eff(r) t ≤ r².
5. The comparison with the effective diffusivity of the renormalization #
The scale arithmetic. Let σ be an effective diffusivity within the
relative error C γ^{1/2} |log γ| of the profile at a length scale r above the
intrinsic scale. Then the square of the intrinsic scale and the displacement
σ t differ by at most (1 + 2C) γ^{1/2} |log γ| r².
The relative error of the renormalization theorem is exactly the hypothesis
hprofile, and the smallness hypothesis hsmall is the statement that the
relative error is at most one half, so that σ and the profile are comparable.
The γ produced by the exact half is absorbed into the displayed factor by
γ ≤ γ^{1/2} |log γ|.
