Stochastic homogenization of coarse-grained elliptic equations

Abstract

We prove quenched stochastic homogenization for divergence-form elliptic equations, under the assumption that the coefficients are stationary, ergodic, integrable, and satisfy a coarse-grained ellipticity assumption. The ellipticity assumption requires that the coefficients remain bounded in a negative regularity sense on large scales. As a corollary, we recover a sufficient joint integrability condition on the symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of the coefficient field.
