Abstract

In this paper, we study two types of purely discontinuous symmetric Markov processes XX in bounded smooth subsets of Rd\mathbb R^d: conservative processes and processes killed either upon approaching the boundary of the set or by a killing potential κ\kappa. The jump kernel of XX is of the form J(x,y)=B(x,y)xydαJ(x,y)={\cal B}(x,y)|x-y|^{-d-\alpha}, α(0,2)\alpha\in (0,2), where the function B(x,y){\cal B}(x,y) decays to 0 at the boundary and is described in terms of two OO-regularly varying functions and one slowly varying function. Under the conditions, introduced in \cite{CKSV24}, on B(x,y){\cal B}(x,y) and on the killing potential κ\kappa, we establish sharp two-sided estimates on the heat kernel of XX: in Lipschitz sets when XX is conservative, and in C1,1C^{1,1} open sets for the killed process.
