This survey paper is a structured concise summary of four of our recent papers on the stochastic regularity of diffusions that are associated to regular strongly local (but not necessarily symmetric) Dirichlet forms. Here by stochastic…

We construct a new class of infinite-dimensional diffusions taking values in a generalized Kingman simplex. Our model describes the temporal evolution of the relative frequencies of infinitely-many types which are "labeled" by an arbitrary…

We show that any strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that satisfies the mild structural condition D3 is associated to a Hunt process, and that the associated Hunt process can be approximated by a sequence of multivariate…

It has recently been shown that there are substantial differences in the regularity behavior of the empirical process based on scalar diffusions as compared to the classical empirical process, due to the existence of diffusion local time.…

This paper is concerned with the study of Green's functions for one dimensional diffusions with constant diffusion coefficient and linear time inhomogeneous drift. It is well know that the whole line Green's function is given by a Gaussian.…

We obtain a criterion for the quasi-regularity of generalized (non-sectorial) Dirichlet forms, which extends the result of P.J. Fitzsimmons on the quasi-regularity of (sectorial) semi-Dirichlet forms. Given the right (Markov) process…

In this paper, we study Dirichlet problem for non-local operator on bounded domains in ${\mathbb R}^d$ $$ {\cal L}u = {\rm div}(A(x) \nabla (x)) + b(x) \cdot \nabla u(x) + \int_{{\mathbb R}^d} (u(y)-u(x) ) J(x, dy) , $$ where…

The two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution $PD(\alpha,\theta)$ is the distribution of an infinite dimensional random discrete probability. It is a generalization of Kingman's Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The two parameter Dirichlet…

In this paper, we shall consider the killing transform induced by a multiplicative functional on regular Dirichlet subspaces of a fixed Dirichlet form. Roughly speaking, a regular Dirichlet subspace is a closed subspace with Dirichlet and…

We describe singular diffusion in bounded subsets $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by form methods and characterize the associated operator. We also prove positivity and contractivity of the corresponding semigroup. This results in a description…

For a class of stochastic differential equations with reflection for which a certain ${\mathbb{L}}^p$ continuity condition holds with $p>1$, it is shown that any weak solution that is a strong Markov process can be decomposed into the sum…

We establish a general analytic framework for determining the AF-martingale dimension of diffusion processes associated with strongly local regular Dirichlet forms on metric measure spaces. While previous approaches typically relied on…

This paper develops the use of Dirichlet forms to deliver proofs of optimal scaling results for Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (specifically, Metropolis-Hastings random walk samplers) under regularity conditions which are substantially…

We study symmetric Dirichlet forms on metric measure spaces, which may possess both strongly local and pure-jump parts. We introduce a new formulation of a tail condition for jump measures and weighted functional inequalities. Our framework…

We prove an averaging principle which asserts convergence of diffusion processes on domains separated by semi-permeable membranes, when diffusion coefficients tend to infinity while the flux through the membranes remains constant. In the…

We obtain the empirical strong law of large numbers, empirical Glivenko-Cantelli theorem, central limit theorem, functional central limit theorem for various nonparametric Bayesian priors which include the Dirichlet process with general…

The objective of this paper is to examine the restriction of a right process on a Radon topological space, excluding a negligible set, and investigate whether the restricted object can induce a Markov process with desirable properties. We…

Let $X$, $B$ and $Y$ be three Dirichlet, Bernoulli and beta independent random variables such that $X\sim \mathcal{D}(a_0,...,a_d),$ such that $\Pr(B=(0,...,0,1,0,...,0))=a_i/a$ with $a=\sum_{i=0}^da_i$ and such that $Y\sim \beta(1,a).$ We…

We show that for any $\epsilon<1$ and any $\mathcal{T}$ `drifting away from walls', Dirichlet's Theorem cannot be $\epsilon$-improved along $\mathcal{T}$ for Lebesgue almost every system of linear forms $Y$ (see the paper for definitions).…

In this paper, we consider subordinate symmetric Markov processes which correspond to non-killing Dirichlet forms enjoying heat kernel estimates on a metric measure space with the volume doubling property. We obtain estimates of the jump…
