Moment bounds on correctors for the degenerate random conductance model

We study the random conductance model on the lattice $\Z^d$, i.e. we consider a linear, finite-difference, divergence-form operator with random conductances $a$. We allow the conductances $a$ to be unbounded and degenerate. Assuming the conductances satisfy a spectral-gap inequality, we establish sharp bounds on the spatial growth of correctors, together with a quantitative relation between the stochastic integrability of the correctors and that of $a$.

Periodic homogenization and harmonic measures

Since the seminal work of Kenig and Pipher, the Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher (DKP) condition on oscillations of the coefficient matrix became a standard threshold in the study of absolute continuity of the harmonic measure with respect to the Hausdorff measure on the boundary. It has been proved sufficient for absolute continuity in the domains with increasingly complex geometry, and known counterexamples show that in a certain sense it is necessary as well. In the present note, we introduce into the subject ideas from homogenization theory to exhibit a new class of operators for which the elliptic measure is well-behaved, featuring the coefficients violating the DKP condition, and on the contrary, oscillating so quickly, that the homogenization takes place.

Quantitative homogenization for log-normal coefficients via Malliavin calculus: the one-dimensional case

The quantitative analysis of stochastic homogenization problems has been a very active field in the last fifteen years. Whereas the first results were motivated by applied questions (namely, the numerical approximation of homogenized coefficients), the more recent achievements in the field are much more analytically-driven and focus on the subtle interplay between PDE analysis (and in particular elliptic regularity theory) and probability (concentration, stochastic cancellations, scaling limits). The aim of this article is threefold. First we provide a complete and self-contained analysis for the popular example of log-normal coefficients with possibly fat tails in dimension $d=1$, establishing new results on the accuracy of the two-scale expansion and characterizing fluctuations (in the perspective of uncertainty quantification). Second, we work in a context where explicit formulas allow us to by-pass analytical difficulties and therefore mostly focus on the probabilistic side of the theory. Last, the one-dimensional setting gives intuition on the available results in higher dimension (provided results are correctly reformulated) to which we give precise entries to the recent literature.

Quantitative homogenization for log-normal coefficients

We establish quantitative homogenization results for the popular log-normal coefficients. Since the coefficients are neither bounded nor uniformly elliptic, standard proofs do not apply directly. Instead, we take inspiration from the approach developed for the nonlinear setting by the first two authors and capitalize on large-scale regularity results by Bella, Fehrmann, and Otto for degenerate coefficients in order to leverage an optimal control (in terms of scaling and stochastic integrability) of oscillations and fluctuations.
