N2 - We consider a random walk on ℤd, d ≥ 2, in an i.i.d. balanced random environment, that is a random walk for which the probability to jump from x ∈ ℤd to nearest neighbor x+e is the same as to nearest neighbor x-e. Assuming that the environment is genuinely d-dimensional and balanced we show a quenched invariance principle: for P almost every environment, the diffusively rescaled random walk converges to a Brownian motion with deterministic non-degenerate diffusion matrix. Within the i.i.d. setting, our result extend both Lawler's uniformly elliptic result (Comm Math Phys, 87(1), pp 81-87, 1982/1983) and Guo and Zeitouni's elliptic result (to appear in PTRF, 2010) to the general (non elliptic) case. Our proof is based on analytic methods and percolation arguments.
