Two-sided Green function estimates for killed subordinate Brownian motions

Probability 2014-02-26 v2

Abstract

A subordinate Brownian motion is a L\'evy process which can be obtained by replacing the time of the Brownian motion by an independent subordinator. The infinitesimal generator of a subordinate Brownian motion is ϕ(Δ)-\phi(-\Delta), where ϕ\phi is the Laplace exponent of the subordinator. In this paper, we consider a large class of subordinate Brownian motions without diffusion component and with ϕ\phi comparable to a regularly varying function at infinity. This class of processes includes symmetric stable processes, relativistic stable processes, sums of independent symmetric stable processes, sums of independent relativistic stable processes, and much more. We give sharp two-sided estimates on the Green functions of these subordinate Brownian motions in any bounded κ\kappa-fat open set DD. When DD is a bounded C1,1C^{1,1} open set, we establish an explicit form of the estimates in terms of the distance to the boundary. As a consequence of such sharp Green function estimates, we obtain a boundary Harnack principle in C1,1C^{1,1} open sets with explicit rate of decay.
