Abstract: We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on $$, $dge2$, driven by a field of bounded random conductances $omeg{a}_{xy}in[0,1]$. The conductance law is i.i.d. subject to the condition that the probability of $omeg{a}_{xy}>0$ exceeds the threshold for bond percolation on $$. For environments in which the origin is connected to infinity by bonds with positive conductances, we study the decay of the $2n$-step return probability $P_{o}meg{a}^{2n}(0,0)$. We prove that $P_{o}meg{a}^{2n}(0,0)$ is bounded by a random constant times $n^{-d/2}$ in $d=2,3$, while it is $o(n^{-2})$ in $dge5$ and $O(n^{-2}logn)$ in $d=4$. By producing examples with anomalous heat-kernel decay approaching $1/n^2$ we prove that the $o(n^{-2})$ bound in $dge5$ is the best possible. We also construct natural $n$-dependent environments that exhibit the extra $logn$ factor in $d=4$. See also math.PR/0701248.
