The space-time conductance IIP conjecture

Let d2d\ge2. For each edge eE(Zd)e\in E(\mathbb Z^d), let tat(e)(0,)t\mapsto a_t(e)\in(0,\infty) be locally Lebesgue integrable, and define the space-time shift by

[τt,x(a)]s(y,z)=at+s(y+x,z+x).[\tau_{t,x}(a)]_s(y,z)=a_{t+s}(y+x,z+x).

Assume that t,eat(e)t,e\mapsto a_t(e) is averaging in the stated sense, that the law P\mathbb P obtained from these limits is ergodic under space-time translations, and that, for some p,q>1p,q>1 satisfying

1p1+1q(p1)+1q<2d,\frac1{p-1}+\frac1{q(p-1)}+\frac1q<\frac2d,

one has

supn11nd+20n2eE(Λn)at(e)pdt<\sup_{n\ge1}\frac1{n^{d+2}}\int_0^{n^2}\sum_{e\in E(\Lambda_n)}a_t(e)^p\,\mathrm dt<\infty

and

supn11nd+20n2eE(Λn)at(e)qdt<.\sup_{n\ge1}\frac1{n^{d+2}}\int_0^{n^2}\sum_{e\in E(\Lambda_n)}a_t(e)^{-q}\,\mathrm dt<\infty.

The space-time conductance IIP conjecture. An IIP holds for the continuous-time Markov chain on Zd\mathbb Z^d with generator

Ltf(x)=y:(x,y)E(Zd)at(x,y)[f(y)f(x)].L_t f(x)=\sum_{y:(x,y)\in E(\mathbb Z^d)}a_t(x,y)[f(y)-f(x)].

This extends the paper's deterministic homogenization framework to time-dependent conductances and complements known results for almost every sample of a space-time ergodic random environment.
