The purpose of this series of lectures is to present some recent results on almost sure invariance principle for a diffusion in divergence form with measurable unbounded and degenerate ergodic random coefficients. The method combines arguments both probabilistic, such as martingale convergence theorems, and analytical, such as the Sobolev inequalities and the Moser iteration. A further result dealing with the asymptotic of the 2-d Ginzburg-Landau model will also be discussed.
