Abstract : Consider random conductances that allow long range jumps. In particular we consider conductances $C_{xy} = w_{xy}|x − y|^{−d−\alpha}$ for distinct $x, y \in Z^d$ and $0 < \alpha < 2$, where $\lbrace w_{xy} = w_{yx} : x, y \in Z^d\rbrace$ are non-negative independent random variables with mean 1. We prove that under some moment conditions for $w$, suitably rescaled Markov chains among the random conductances converge to a rotationally symmetric $\alpha$-stable process almost surely w.r.t. the randomness of the environments. The proof is a combination of analytic and probabilistic methods based on the recently established de Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory for processes with long range jumps. If time permits, we also discuss quenched heat kernel estimates as well. This is a joint work with Xin Chen (Shanghai) and Jian Wang (Fuzhou).
