We consider reversible diffusions in a random environment 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. The Einstein relation is conjectured to hold for a variety of models but so far it has only been proved in particular cases. Our proof makes use of homogenization arguments, the Girsanov transform, and a refinement of the regeneration times introduced by Shen. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
