Comparison of quenched and annealed invariance principles for random conductance model

Non-uniformly parabolic equations and applications to the random conductance model

We study local regularity properties of linear, non-uniformly parabolic finite-difference operators in divergence form related to the random conductance model on $$\mathbb Z^d$$ Z d . In particular, we provide an oscillation decay assuming only certain summability properties of the conductances and their inverse, thus improving recent results in that direction. As an application, we provide a local limit theorem for the random walk in a random degenerate and unbounded environment.

Quenched local limit theorem for random walks among time-dependent ergodic degenerate weights

We establish a quenched local central limit theorem for the dynamic random conductance model on $${\mathbb {Z}}^d$$ Z d only assuming ergodicity with respect to space-time shifts and a moment condition. As a key analytic ingredient we show Hölder continuity estimates for solutions to the heat equation for discrete finite difference operators in divergence form with time-dependent degenerate weights. The proof is based on De Giorgi’s iteration technique. In addition, we also derive a quenched local central limit theorem for the static random conductance model on a class of random graphs with degenerate ergodic weights.
