Abstract

The aim of this paper is to consider reversible random walk in a random environment in one dimension and prove the Einstein relation for this model. It says that the derivative at 0 of the effective velocity under an additional local drift equals the diffusivity of the model without drift (Theorem 1.2). Our method here is very simple: we solve the Poisson equation (Pω−I)g=f and then use the pointwise ergodic theorem in Wiener (1939) [10] to treat the limit of the solutions to obtain the desired result. There are analogous results for Markov processes with discrete space and for diffusions in random environment.
