Stochastic homogenization on perforated domains I: Extension operators

This preprint is part of a major rewriting and substantial improvement of WIAS Preprint 2742. In this first part of a series of 3 papers, we set up a framework to study the existence of uniformly bounded extension and trace operators for W1,p-functions on randomly perforated domains, where the geometry is assumed to be stationary ergodic. We drop the classical assumption of minimaly smoothness and study stationary geometries which have no global John regularity. For such geometries, uniform extension operators can be defined only from W1,p to W1,r with the strict inequality r
