The self-repelling Brownian polymer model (SRBP) initiated by Durrett and Rogers in [Durrett-Rogers (1992)] is the continuous space-time counterpart of the myopic (or 'true') self-avoiding walk model (MSAW) introduced in the physics literature by Amit, Parisi and Peliti in [Amit-Parisi-Peliti (1983)]. In both cases, a random motion in space is pushed towards domains less visited in the past by a kind of negative gradient of the occupation time measure. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of SRBP in the non-recurrent dimensions. First, extending 1-dimensional results from [Tarres-Toth-Valko (2009)], we identify a natural stationary (in time) and ergodic distribution of the environment (essentially, smeared-out occupation time measure of the process), as seen from the moving particle. As main result we prove that in three and more dimensions, in this stationary (and ergodic) regime, the displacement of the moving particle scales diffusively and its finite dimensional distributions converge to those of a Wiener process. This result settles part of the conjectures (based on non-rigorous renormalization group arguments) in [Amit-Parisi-Peliti (1983)]. The main tool is the non-reversible version of the Kipnis--Varadhan-type CLT for additive functionals of ergodic Markov processes and the graded sector condition of [Sethuraman-Varadhan-Yau (2000)].
