Abstract: We study the diagonal heat-kernel decay for the four-dimensional nearest-neighbor random walk (on $$) among i.i.d. random conductances that are positive, bounded from above but can have arbitrarily heavy tails at zero. It has been known that the quenched return probability $cmss{P}_{o}meg{a}^{2n}(0,0)$ after $2n$ steps is at most $C(omega)n^{-2}logn$, but the best lower bound till now has been $C(omega)n^{-2}$. Here we will show that the $logn$ term marks a real phenomenon by constructing an environment, for each sequence $lambd{a}_{n}oinfty$, such that ${\displaystyle }$ cmss P_omega^{2n}(0,0)ge C(omega)log(n)n^{-2}/lambda_n, ${\displaystyle }$ with $C(omega)>0$ a.s., along a deterministic subsequence of $n$'s. Notably, this holds simultaneously with a (non-degenerate) quenched invariance principle. As for the $dge5$ cases studied earlier, the source of the anomalous decay is a trapping phenomenon although the contribution is in this case collected from a whole range of spatial scales.
