A random walk starts from the origin of a d-dimensional lattice. The o
ccupation number n(x, t) equals unity if after t steps site x has been
visited by the walk, and zero otherwise. We study translationally inv
ariant sums M(t) of observables defined locally on the field of occupa
tion numbers. Examples are the number S(t) of visited sites, the area
E(t) of the (appropriately defined) surface of the set of visited site
s, and, in dimension d = 3, the Euler index of this surface. In d grea
ter than or equal to 3, the averages (M) over bar(t) all increase line
arly with t as t --> infinity. We show that in d = 3, to leading order
in an asymptotic expansion in t, the deviations from average Delta M(
t) = M(t) - (M) over bar(t) are, up to a normalization, all identical
to a single ''universal'' random variable. This result resembles an ea
rlier one in dimension d = 2; we show that this universality breaks do
wn for d > 3.
