We study random walks on mathbb Zd among random conductances\n Cxy colon x,y\∈ mathbb Zd that permit jumps of arbitrary length.\nApart from joint ergodicity with respect to spatial shifts, we assume only that\nthe nearest-neighbor conductances are uniformly positive and that\n\∑x\∈ mathbb Zd C0x|x|2 is integrable. Our focus is on the\nQuenched Invariance Principle (QIP) which we establish in all d\≥3 by a\ncombination of corrector methods and heat-kernel technology. In particular, a\nQIP thus holds for random walks on long-range percolation graphs with exponents\nlarger than d+2 in all d\≥3, provided all nearest-neighbor edges are\npresent. We then show that, for long-range percolation with exponents between\nd+2 and 2d, the corrector fails to be sublinear everywhere. Similar\nexamples are constructed also for nearest-neighbor, ergodic conductances in\nd\≥4 under the conditions close to, albeit not exactly, complementary to\nthose of the recent work of S. Andres, M. Slowik and J.-D. Deuschel.\n
