Abstract

Let EE be a locally compact separable metric space and mm be a positive Radon measure on it. Given a nonnegative function kk defined on E×EE\times E off the diagonal whose anti-symmetric part is assumed to be less singular than the symmetric part, we construct an associated regular lower bounded semi-Dirichlet form η\eta on L2(E;m)L^2(E;m) producing a Hunt process X0X^0 on EE whose jump behaviours are governed by kk. For an arbitrary open subset DED\subset E, we also construct a Hunt process XD,0X^{D,0} on DD in an analogous manner. When DD is relatively compact, we show that XD,0X^{D,0} is censored in the sense that it admits no killing inside DD and killed only when the path approaches to the boundary. When EE is a dd-dimensional Euclidean space and mm is the Lebesgue measure, a typical example of X0X^0 is the stable-like process that will be also identified with the solution of a martingale problem up to an η\eta-polar set of starting points. Approachability to the boundary D\partial D in finite time of its censored process XD,0X^{D,0} on a bounded open subset DD will be examined in terms of the polarity of D\partial D for the symmetric stable processes with indices that bound the variable exponent α(x)\alpha(x).
