Quenched invariance principle for simple random walk on percolation clusters

Abstract

We consider the simple random walk on the (unique) infinite cluster of super-critical bond percolation in Zd\Z^d with d2d\ge2. We prove that, for almost every percolation configuration, the path distribution of the walk converges weakly to that of non-degenerate, isotropic Brownian motion. Our analysis is based on the consideration of a harmonic deformation of the infinite cluster on which the random walk becomes a square-integrable martingale. The size of the deformation, expressed by the so called corrector, is estimated by means of ergodicity arguments.
