Abstract

We give a probabilistic proof of relative Fatou's theorem for (Δ)α/2(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}-harmonic functions (equivalently for symmetric α\alpha-stable processes) in bounded κ\kappa-fat open set where α(0,2)\alpha \in (0,2). That is, if uu is positive (Δ)α/2(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}-harmonic function in a bounded κ\kappa-fat open set DD and hh is singular positive (Δ)α/2(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}-harmonic function in DD, then non-tangential limits of u/hu/h exist almost everywhere with respect to the Martin-representing measure of hh. It is also shown that, under the gaugeability assumption, relative Fatou's theorem is true for operators obtained from the generator of the killed α\alpha-stable process in bounded κ\kappa-fat open set DD through non-local Feynman-Kac transforms. As an application, relative Fatou's theorem for relativistic stable processes is also true if DD is bounded C1,1C^{1,1}-open set.
