Let $(E,\mathcal F,\mu)$ be a probability space, and let $P$ be a Markov operator on $L^2(\mu)$ with $1$ a simple eigenvalue such that $\mu P=\mu$ (i.e. $\mu$ is an invariant probability measure of $P$). Then $\hat P:=\ff 1 2 (P+P^*)$ has a…

Consider operators $L_{V}:=\Delta + V$ in a bounded smooth domain $D$ in $R^N$. Assume that $V\in C^1(D)$ and $V$ may blow up at the boundary at most as $1/\delta^2$ where $\delta$ denotes distance to the boundary. Assume also that $L_{V}$…
