Energy integrals and asymmetric co-potentials for closed forms

We investigate the class of measures of finite energy integrals and the behavior of potentials and co-potentials associated with non-symmetric closed forms. In particular, we compare these objects with their symmetric counterparts from three viewpoints: a non-symmetric version of Stollmann--Voigt's inequality, non-symmetric perturbations of symmetric forms, and closed forms associated with non-symmetric jump-type forms. Our results indicate that measures of finite energy integrals, potentials, and co-potentials behave differently in the non-symmetric setting, requiring more delicate analysis than in the symmetric case.

On higher order Morrey's inequalities over RCD{\boldmath$(K,N)$}-spaces

In this paper, we establish a higher order Morrey's inequality in the framework of %non-collapsed $\mathsf{RCD}(K,N)$-spaces for $K\in\mathbb{R}$ and $N\in\mathbb{N}$. We do so by first introducing an alternate version of the second order Sobolev space $W^{2, p}(X)$, which contains amply many functions even when $p>N$.

A remark on subharmonicity for symmetric Dirichlet forms

We remove the local boundedness for $\mathscr{E}_{\alpha}$-subharmonicity in the framework of (not necessarily strongly local) regular symmetric Dirichlet form $(\mathscr{E},D(\mathscr{E}))$ with $\alpha\geq0$ and establish the stochastic characterization for $\mathscr{E}$-subharmonic functions without assuming the local boundedness.

Feller property and convergence for semigroups of time-changed processes

We give a substitute to Feller property for semigroups of time-changed processes; under some conditions this leads to establish sufficient (new) conditions for the semigroups to be Feller. Moreover, given a standard process and a sequence of measures converging vaguely to a final measure, under some assumptions, we establish convergence of the sequence of the semigroups and the resolvents of the corresponding time changed-processes. Some applications are given: convergence of solutions of evolution equations and convergence of finite time distributions, as well as weak convergence of the related processes.

(1,p)-Sobolev spaces based on strongly local Dirichlet forms

In the framework of quasi-regular strongly local Dirichlet form $(\mathscr{E},D(\mathscr{E}))$ on $L^2(X;\mathfrak{m})$ admitting minimal $\mathscr{E}$-dominant measure $μ$, we construct a natural $p$-energy functional $(\mathscr{E}^{\,p},D(\mathscr{E}^{\,p}))$ on $L^p(X;\mathfrak{m})$ and $(1,p)$-Sobolev space $(H^{1,p}(X),\|\cdot\|_{H^{1,p}})$ for $p\in]1,+\infty[$. In this paper, we establish the Clarkson type inequality for $(H^{1,p}(X),\|\cdot\|_{H^{1,p}})$. As a consequence, $(H^{1,p}(X),\|\cdot\|_{H^{1,p}})$ is a uniformly convex Banach space, hence it is reflexive. Based on the reflexivity of $(H^{1,p}(X),\|\cdot\|_{H^{1,p}})$, we prove that (generalized) normal contraction operates on $(\mathscr{E}^{\,p},D(\mathscr{E}^{\,p}))$, which has been shown in the case of various concrete settings, but has not been proved for such general framework. Moreover, we prove that $(1,p)$-capacity ${\rm Cap}_{1,p}(A)<\infty$ for open set $A$ admits an equilibrium potential $e_A\in D(\mathscr{E}^{\,p})$ with $0\leq e_A\leq 1$ $\mathfrak{m}$-a.e. and $e_A=1$ $\mathfrak{m})$-a.e.~on $A$.

Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality for the heat semigroup on differential forms over Dirichlet spaces tamed by distributional curvature lower bounds

The notion of tamed Dirichlet space was proposed by Erbar, Rigoni, Sturm and Tamanini as a Dirichlet space having a weak form of Bakry-Émery curvature lower bounds in distribution sense. After their work, Braun established a vector calculus for it, in particular, the space of $L^2$-normed $L^{\infty}$-module describing vector fields, $1$-forms, Hessian in $L^2$-sense. In this framework, we establish the Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality for $1$-forms as an element of $L^2$-cotangent module (an $L^2$-normed $L^{\infty}$-module), which extends the Hess-Schrader-Uhlenbrock inequality by Braun under an additional condition.

Liouville theorem for $V$-harmonic maps under non-negative $(m, V)$-Ricci curvature for non-positive $m$

Let $V$ be a $C^1$-vector field on an $n$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$. We prove a Liouville theorem for $V$-harmonic maps satisfying various growth conditions from complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative $(m, V)$-Ricci curvature for $m\in\,[\,-\infty,\,0\,]\,\cup\,[\,n,\,+\infty\,]$ into Cartan-Hadam\-ard manifolds, which extends Cheng's Liouville theorem proved S.~Y.~Cheng for sublinear growth harmonic maps from complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature into Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. We also prove a Liouville theorem for $V$-harmonic maps from complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative $(m, V)$-Ricci curvature for $m\in\,[\,-\infty,\,0\,]\,\cup\,[\,n,\,+\infty\,]$ into regular geodesic balls of Riemannian manifolds with positive upper sectional curvature bound, which extends the results of Hildebrandt-Jost-Wideman and Choi. Our probabilistic proof of Liouville theorem for several growth $V$-harmonic maps into Hadamard manifolds enhances an incomplete argument by Stafford. Our results extend the results due to Chen-Jost-Qiu\cite{ChenJostQiu} and Qiu\cite{Qiu} in the case of $m=+\infty$ on the Liouville theorem for bounded $V$-harmonic maps from complete Riemannian manifolds with non-negative $(\infty, V)$-Ricci curvature into regular geodesic balls of Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature upper bound. Finally, we establish a connection between the Liouville property of $V$-harmonic maps and the recurrence property of $Δ_V$-diffusion processes on manifolds. Our results are new even in the case $V=\nabla f$ for $f\in C^2(M)$.

Riesz transforms for Dirichlet spaces tamed by distributional curvature lower bounds

The notion of tamed Dirichlet space was proposed by Erbar, Rigoni, Sturm and Tamanini as a Dirichlet space having a weak form of Bakry-Émery curvature lower bounds in distribution sense. After their work, Braun established a vector calculus for it, in particular, the space of $L^2$-normed $L^{\infty}$-module describing vector fields, $1$-forms, Hessian in $L^2$-sense. In this framework, we establish the Littlewood-Paley-Stein inequality for $1$-forms as an element of $L^p$-cotangent bundles and boundedness of Riesz transforms, which partially solves the problem raised by Kawabi-Miyokawa.

Locally convex aspects of the Kato and the Dynkin class on manifolds

We consider the Kato and the Dynkin class and their local counterparts on a smooth Riemannian manifold as Fréchet spaces. Based on recent results by Carron, Mondello and Tewodrose we show that for a Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$ of dimension $m\geq 2$ with spectral negative part $σ^-_g$ of the Ricci curvature in $L^q_{ϕ_g}(X,g)+L^\infty(X,g)$ for some $q>m/2$, the function $σ^-_g$ is in the Kato class of $(X,g)$ if and only if $(X,g)$ satisfies a Gaussian upper heat kernel bound for small times and is locally volume doubling. Here $L^q_{ϕ_g}(X,g)$ is the $L^q$-space which is weighted with the inverse volume function. By establishing a localization result for the Dynkin norm, we prove that the local Kato class and the local Dynkin class do not depend on the chosen Riemannian metric and thus can be defined as Fréchet spaces on arbitrary smooth manifolds. Moreover, we prove that smooth compactly supported functions are dense in the local Kato class and we use this result to prove that Schrödinger semigroups with Kato decomposable potentials are space-time continuous.

The Littlewood-Paley-Stein inequality for Dirichlet space tamed by signed measured curvature lower bounds

The notion of tamed Dirichlet space by distributional lower Ricci curvature bounds was proposed by Erbar--Rigoni--Sturm--Tamanini as the Dirichlet space having a weak form of Bakry--\'Emery curvature lower bounds in distribution sense. In this framework, we establish the Littlewood--Paley--Stein inequality for $L^p$-functions which partially generalizes the result by Kawabi--Miyokawa.

Stability of estimates for fundamental solutions under Feynman-Kac perturbations for symmetric Markov processes

In this paper, when a given symmetric Markov process X satisfies the stability of global heat kernel two-sided (upper) estimates by Markov perturbations, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the stability of global two-sided (upper) estimates for fundamental solution of Feynman-Kac semigroup of X. As a corollary, under the same assumptions, a weak type global two-sided (upper) estimates holds for the fundamental solution of Feynman-Kac semigroup with (extended) Kato class conditions for measures. This generalizes all known results on the stability of global integral kernel estimates by symmetric Feynman-Kac perturbations with Kato class conditions in the framework of symmetric Markov processes.

Laplacian comparison theorem on Riemannian manifolds with modified m-Bakry-Emery Ricci lower bounds for $m\leq1$

In this paper, we prove a Laplacian comparison theorem for non-symmetric diffusion operator on complete smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold having a lower bound of modified $m$-Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor under $m\leq 1$ in terms of vector fields. As consequences, we give the optimal conditions for modified $m$-Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor under $m\leq1$ such that the (weighted) Myers' theorem, Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem, Ambrose-Myers' theorem, Cheng's maximal diameter theorem, and the Cheeger-Gromoll type splitting theorem hold. Some of these results were well-studied for $m$-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature under $m\geq n$ if the vector field is a gradient type. When $m<1$, our results are new in the literature.

New Laplacian comparison theorem and its applications to diffusion processes on Riemannian manifolds

Let $L=Δ-\nablaϕ\cdot \nabla$ be a symmetric diffusion operator with an invariant measure $μ({\rm} d x)=e^{-ϕ(x)}{\mathfrak m}({\rm d} x)$ on a complete non-compact smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with its volume element ${\mathfrak m}={\rm vol}_g$, and $ϕ\in C^2(M)$ a potential function. In this paper, we prove a Laplacian comparison theorem on weighted complete Riemannian manifolds with ${\rm CD}(K, m)$-condition for $m\leq 1$ and a continuous function $K$. As consequences, we give the optimal conditions on $m$-Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor for $m\leq1$ such that the (weighted) Myers' theorem, Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem, Ambrose-Myers' theorem, and the Cheeger-Gromoll type splitting theorem, stochastic completeness and Feller property of $L$-diffusion processes hold on weighted complete Riemannian manifolds. Some of these results were well-studied for $m$-Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature for $m\geq n$ (\!\!\cite{Lot,Qian,XDLi05, WeiWylie}) or $m=1$ (\!\!\cite{Wylie:WarpedSplitting, WylieYeroshkin}). When $m<1$, our results are new in the literature.

Rigidity phenomena on lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range for non-symmetric Laplacian

Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta have introduced the notion of a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound with $\varepsilon$-range, and derived several comparison geometric estimates from a Laplacian comparison theorem for weighted Laplacian. The aim of this paper is to investigate various rigidity phenomena for the equality case of their comparison geometric results. We will obtain rigidity results concerning the Laplacian comparison theorem, diameter comparisons, and volume comparisons. We also generalize their works for non-symmetric Laplacian induced from vector field potential.

Comparison geometry of manifolds with boundary under lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bounds with $\varepsilon$-range

We study comparison geometry of manifolds with boundary under a lower $N$-weighted Ricci curvature bound for $N\in ]-\infty,1]\cup [n,+\infty]$ with $\varepsilon$-range introduced by Lu-Minguzzi-Ohta. We will conclude splitting theorems, and also comparison geometric results for inscribed radius, volume around the boundary, and smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue of the weighted $p$-Laplacian. Our results interpolate those for $N\in [n,+\infty[$ and $\varepsilon=1$, and for $N\in ]-\infty,1]$ and $\varepsilon=0$ by the second named author.

$L^p$-Kato class measures for symmetric Markov processes under heat kernel estimates

In this paper, we establish the coincidence of two classes of $L^p$-Kato class measures in the framework of symmetric Markov processes admitting upper and lower estimates of heat kernel under mild conditions. One class of $L^p$-Kato class measures is defined by the $p$-th power of positive order resolvent kernel, another is defined in terms of the $p$-th power of Green kernel depending on some exponents related to the heat kernel estimates. We also prove that $q$-th integrable functions on balls with radius $1$ having uniformity of its norm with respect to centers are of $L^p$-Kato class if $q$ is greater than a constant related to $p$ and the constants appeared in the upper and lower estimates of the heat kernel. These are complete extensions of some results by Aizenman-Simon and the recent results by the second named author in the framework of Brownian motions on Euclidean space. We further give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Radon measure with Ahlfors regularity to belong to $L^p$-Kato class. Our results can be applicable to many examples, for instance, symmetric (relativistic) stable processes, jump processes on $d$-sets, Brownian motions on Riemannian manifolds, diffusions on fractals and so on.
