Abstract
We show that the vertex-reinforced jump processes on a \(d\)-dimensional hierarchical lattice are recurrent for \(d < 2\) and transient for \(d > 2\). We also explore certain regimes when \(d = 2\). The proof of recurrence relies on an exponential decay estimate of the fractional moment of the Green's function, which, unlike the classical approach used for \(\mathbb{Z}^d\), requires additional entropy estimates via stability of the model distribution under coarse grain operation, which leverages its linear reinforcement.
