We survey the recent development of the DeGiorgi-Nash-Moser-Aronson type theory for a class of symmetric jump processes(or equivalently, a class of symmetric integro-differential operators). We focus on the sharp two-sided estimates for the…

We obtain a uniform boundary Harnack principle (BHP) on any open sets for a large class of non-local operators on metric measure spaces under a jump measure comparability and tail estimate condition, and an upper bound condition on the…
Let $d\ge1$ and $0<\alpha<2$. Consider the integro-differential operator \[ \mathcal{L}f(x) =\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash\{0\}}\left[f(x+h)-f(x)-\chi_{\alpha}(h)\nabla f(x)\cdot…
We establish two-sided heat kernel estimates for random conductance models with non-uniformly elliptic (possibly degenerate) stable-like jumps on graphs. These are long range counterparts of well known two-sided Gaussian heat kernel…
In this paper, we study sharp two-sided heat kernel estimates for a large class of symmetric reflected diffusions with jumps on the closure of an inner uniform domain $D$ in a length metric space. The length metric is the intrinsic metric…
We investigate the relationships between the parabolic Harnack inequality, heat kernel estimates, some geometric conditions, and some analytic conditions for random walks with long range jumps. Unlike the case of diffusion processes, the…
We survey the recent progress in the study of heat kernels for a class of non-symmetric non-local operators. We focus on the existence and sharp two-sided estimates of the heat kernels and their connection to jump diffusions.
In this paper, we consider the following symmetric Dirichlet forms on a metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g) = \mathcal{E}(^{(c)}(f,g)+\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $\mathcal{E}(^{(c)}$ is a…
In this paper, we employ probabilistic techniques to derive sharp, explicit two-sided estimates for the heat kernel of the nonlocal kinetic operator $$ \Delta^{\alpha/2}_v + v \cdot \nabla_x, \quad \alpha \in (0, 2),\ (x,v)\in {\mathbb…
Given a symmetric diffusion process and a jump process on the same underlying space, is there a subordinator such that the jump process and the subordinated diffusion processes are comparable? We address this question when the diffusion…
In this paper, we consider the following symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms of pure jump type on metric measure space $(M,d,\mu)$: $$\mathcal{E}(f,g)=\int_{M\times M} (f(x)-f(y))(g(x)-g(y))\,J(dx,dy),$$ where $J(dx,dy)$ is a symmetric…
We consider the symmetric non-local Dirichlet form $(E, F)$ given by \[ E (f,f)=\int_{R^d} \int_{R^d} (f(y)-f(x))^2 J(x,y) dx dy \] with $F$ the closure of the set of $C^1$ functions on $R^d$ with compact support with respect to $E_1$,…
We study nonlocal operators acting on functions in the Euclidean space. The operators under consideration generate anisotropic jump processes, e.g., a jump process that behaves like a stable process in each direction but with a different…
In this article we establish the optimal $C^s$ boundary regularity for solutions to nonlocal parabolic equations in divergence form in $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains and prove a higher order boundary Harnack principle in this setting. Our approach…
In this paper, we study purely discontinuous symmetric Markov processes on closed subsets of ${\mathbb R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, with jump kernels of the form $J(x,y)=|x-y|^{-d-\alpha}{\mathcal B}(x,y)$, $\alpha\in (0,2)$, where the function…
