Abstract

A subordinate Brownian motion XX is a L\'evy process which can be obtained by replacing the time of the Brownian motion by an independent subordinator. In this paper, when the Laplace exponent ϕ\phi of the corresponding subordinator satisfies some mild conditions, we first prove the scale invariant boundary Harnack inequality for XX on arbitrary open sets. Then we give an explicit form of sharp two-sided estimates on the Green functions of these subordinate Brownian motions in any bounded C1,1C^{1,1} open set. As a consequence, we prove the boundary Harnack inequality for XX on any C1,1C^{1,1} open set with explicit decay rate. Unlike {KSV2, KSV4}, our results cover geometric stable processes and relativistic geometric stable process, i.e. the cases when the subordinator has the Laplace exponent ϕ(λ)=log(1+λα/2)(0<α2,d>α)\phi(\lambda)=\log(1+\lambda^{\alpha/2}) (0<\alpha\leq 2, d > \alpha) and ϕ(λ)=log(1+(λ+mα/2)2/αm)(0<α<2,m>0,d>2).\phi(\lambda)=\log(1+(\lambda+m^{\alpha/2})^{2/\alpha}-m) (0<\alpha<2,\, m>0, d >2) .
