We study models of continuous-time, symmetric, Zd-valued random walks\nin random environments, driven by a field of i.i.d. random nearest-neighbor\nconductances \ωxy\∈[0,1] with a power law with an exponent \γ\nnear 0. We are interested in estimating the quenched decay of the return\nprobability P_\ωt(0,0), as t tends to +\∞. We show that for\n\γ> \(d)/(2), the standard bound turns out to be of the correct\nlogarithmic order. As an expected concequence, the same result holds for the\ndiscrete-time case.\n
