Transition probability estimates for long range random walks

Probability 2015-09-03 v2

Abstract

Let (M,d,μ)(M,d,\mu) be a uniformly discrete metric measure space satisfying space homogeneous volume doubling condition. We consider discrete time Markov chains on MM symmetric with respect to μ\mu and whose one-step transition density is comparable to (Vh(d(x,y))ϕ(d(x,y))1 (V_h(d(x,y)) \phi(d(x,y))^{-1}, where ϕ\phi is a positive continuous regularly varying function with index β(0,2)\beta \in (0,2) and VhV_h is the homogeneous volume growth function. Extending several existing work by other authors, we prove global upper and lower bounds for nn-step transition probability density that are sharp up to constants.
