Abstract: We consider a random, uniformly elliptic coefficient field a(x) on the d-dimensional integer lattice mathbbZd. We are interested in the spatial decay of the quenched elliptic Green function G(a;x,y). Next to stationarity, we assume that the spatial correlation of the coefficient field decays sufficiently fast to the effect that a logarithmic Sobolev inequality holds for the ensemble langlecdotangle. We prove that all stochastic moments of the first and second mixed derivatives of the Green function, that is, langle|ablaxG(x,y)|pangle and langle|ablaxablayG(x,y)|pangle, have the same decay rates in |xy|gg1 as for the constant coefficient Green function, respectively. This result relies on and substantially extends the one by Delmotte and Deuschel cite{DeuschelDelmotte}, which optimally controls second moments for the first derivatives and first moments of the second mixed derivatives of G, that is, langle|ablaxG(x,y)|2angle and langle|ablaxablayG(x,y)|angle. As an application, we are able to obtain optimal estimates on the random part of the homogenization error even for large ellipticity contrast.
