Popis: We consider random resistor networks with nodes given by a point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and with random conductances. The length range of the electrical filaments can be unbounded. We assume that the randomness is stationary and ergodic w.r.t. the action of the group $\mathbb{G}$, given by $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{Z}^d$. This action is covariant w.r.t. translations on the Euclidean space. Under minimal assumptions we prove that a.s. the suitably rescaled directional conductivity of the resistor network along the principal directions of the effective homogenized matrix $D$ converges to the corresponding eigenvalue of $D$ times the intensity of the point process. More generally, we prove a quenched scaling limit of the directional conductivity along any vector $e\in {\rm Ker}(D) \cup {\rm Ker}(D)^\perp$. Our results cover plenty of models including e.g. the standard conductance model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (also with long filaments), the Miller-Abrahams resistor network for conduction in amorphous solids (to which we can now extend the bounds in agreement with Mott's law previously obtained in \cite{CP1,FM,FSS} for Mott's random walk), resistor networks on the supercritical cluster in lattice and continuum percolations, resistor networks on crystal lattices and on Delaunay triangulations.
Comment: 46 pages, 6 figures. Modified title. Extended the main result to non-principal directions without modifying the box (see new Theorem 2.6). Corrected one example and added others. Extended the discussion of (A3) by treating periodic structures. Added figures and references. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2002.03441
