We give two-sided, global (in all variables) estimates of the heat kernel and the Green function of the fractional Schr\"odinger operator with a non-negative and locally bounded potential $V$ such that $V(x) \to \infty$ as $|x| \to \infty$.…

We construct a class of stochastic differential equations driven by White Gaussian noise sources whose solutions can be drawn from skewed Gaussian probability laws, here referred as skew-Normal diffusion (SKN) processes. The non-Gaussian…

This paper's aim is threefold. First, using Feynman's path approach to the derivation of theclassical Schr{\"o}dinger's equation in [6] and by introducing a slight path (or wave) dependency ofthe action, we derive a new class of equations…

Motivated by the phenomenon of duality for interacting particle systems we introduce two classes of Pfaffian kernels describing a number of Pfaffian point processes in the `bulk' and at the `edge'. Using the probabilistic method due to Mark…
