Abstract

We give conditions under which near-critical stochastic processes on the half-line have infinitely many or finitely many cutpoints, generalizing existing results on nearest-neighbour random walks to adapted processes with bounded increments satisfying appropriate conditional increment moments conditions. We apply one of these results to deduce that a class of transient zero-drift Markov chains in (Formula presented), d > 2, possess infinitely many separating annuli, generalizing previous results on spatially homogeneous random walks.
