Recently, in [Preprint (2006)], we extended the concept of intrinsic ultracontractivity to nonsymmetric semigroups. In this paper, we study the intrinsic ultracontractivity of nonsymmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts and…

We prove the intrinsic ultracontractivity for the semigroup generated by a large class of symmetric Levy processes such that the Levy measure satisfies some conditions in the neighborhood of 0, killed on exiting a bounded and connected…

We prove that a general (not necessarily symmetric) L\'evy process killed on exiting a bounded open set (without regular condition on the boundary) is intrinsically ultracontractive, provided that $B(0,R_0)\subseteq \rm{supp}(\nu)$ for some…

Consider the symmetric non-local Dirichlet form $(D,\D(D))$ given by $$ D(f,f)=\int_{\R^d}\int_{\R^d}\big(f(x)-f(y)\big)^2 J(x,y)\,dx\,dy $$with $\D(D)$ the closure of the set of $C^1$ functions on $\R^d$ with compact support under the norm…

For a symmetric $\alpha$-stable process $X$ on $\RR^n$ with $0<\alpha <2$, $n\geq 2$ and a domain $D \subset \RR^n$, let $L^D$ be the infinitesimal generator of the subprocess of $X$ killed upon leaving $D$. For a Kato class function $q$,…

Let $(X_t)_{t\ge 0}$ be a symmetric strong Markov process generated by non-local regular Dirichlet form $(D,\D(D))$ as follows \begin{equation*} \begin{split} & D(f,g)=\int_{\R^d}\int_{\R^d}\big(f(x)-f(y)\big)\big(g(x)-g(y)\big)…

We introduce a class of L\'{e}vy processes subject to specific regularity conditions, and consider their Feynman-Kac semigroups given under a Kato-class potential. Using new techniques, first we analyze the rate of decay of eigenfunctions…

For any 0 < alpha <2, a truncated symmetric alpha-stable process is a symmetric Levy process in R^d with a Levy density given by c|x|^{-d-alpha} 1_{|x|< 1} for some constant c. In this paper we study the potential theory of truncated…

By establishing the intrinsic super-Poincar\'e inequality, some explicit conditions are presented for diffusion semigroups on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold to be intrinsically ultracontractive. These conditions, as well as the…

According to the theory of functional inequalities, a non-symmetric Markov semigroup has better properties than the corresponding symmetric one. For instance, there exist non-symmetric Markov semigroups which are hypercontractive (and thus…

We examine three equivalent constructions of a censored symmetric purely discontinuous L\'evy process on an open set $D$; via the corresponding Dirichlet form, through the Feynman-Kac transform of the L\'evy process killed outside of $D$…

This article establishes a universal robust limit theorem under a sublinear expectation framework. Under moment and consistency conditions, we show that, for $\alpha \in(1,2)$, the i.i.d. sequence \[ \left \{ \left(…

In this paper, we study properties of the dual process and Schrodinger-type operators of a non-symmetric diffusion with measure-valued drift. Let mu=(mu^1,..., mu^d) be such that each mu^i is a signed measure on R^d belonging to the Kato…

Let $D$ be a domain of finite Lebesgue measure in $\bR^d$ and let $X^D_t$ be the symmetric $\alpha$-stable process killed upon exiting $D$. Each element of the set $\{\lambda_i^\alpha\}_{i=1}^\infty$ of eigenvalues associated to $X^D_t$,…

We investigate densities of vaguely continuous convolution semigroups of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$. First, we provide results that give upper estimates in a situation when the corresponding jump measure is allowed to be highly…

An explicit sufficient condition on the hypercontractivity is derived for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of functional stochastic differential equations. Consequently, the semigroup $P_t$ converges exponentially to its unique…
