An almost sure invariance principle for the range of planar random walks

For a symmetric random walk in Z(2) with 2 + delta moments, we represent vertical bar R(n)vertical bar, the cardinality of the range, in terms of an expansion involving the renormalized intersection local times of a Brownian motion. We show that for each k >= 1 [Graphics] where Wt is a Brownian motion, W(t)((n)) = Wnt/root n, gamma j,n is the renormalized intersection local time at time 1 for W((n)) and c(X) is a constant depending on the distribution of the random walk.
