Abstract

Let (X,W)(X,\mathcal W) be a balayage space, 1W1\in \mathcal W, or - equivalently - let W\mathcal W be the set of excessive functions of a Hunt process on a locally compact space XX with countable base such that W\mathcal W separates points, every function in W\mathcal W is the supremum of its continuous minorants and there exist strictly positive continuous u,vWu,v\in \mathcal W such that u/v0u/v\to 0 at infinity. We suppose that there is a Green function G>0G>0 for XX, a metric ρ\rho on XX and a decreasing function g ⁣:[0,)(0,]g\colon[0,\infty)\to (0,\infty] having the doubling property and a mild upper decay near 00 such that GgρG\approx g\circ\rho (which is equivalent to a 3G3G-inequality). Then the corresponding capacity for balls of radius rr is bounded by a constant multiple of 1/g(r)1/g(r). Assuming that reverse inequalities hold as well and that jumps of the process, when starting at neighboring points, are related in a suitable way, it is proven that positive harmonic functions satisfy scaling invariant Harnack inequalities. Provided that the Ikeda-Watanabe formula holds, sufficient conditions for this relation are given. This shows that rather general L\'evy processes are covered by this approach.
