Weak Harnack Inequality and Hölder Regularity for Symmetric Stable Lévy Processes

In this paper we consider weak Harnack inequality and Hölder regularity estimates for symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $α\in (0,2)$, $d\geq 2$. We consider a symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process $X$ for which a spherical part $μ$ of the Lévy measure is a spectral measure. In addition, we assume that $μ$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the uniform measure $σ$ on the sphere and impose certain bounds on the corresponding density. Eventually, we show that the weak Harnack inequality holds, which we apply to prove Hölder regularity results.

Harnack Inequalities for Symmetric Stable Levy Processes

In this paper we consider Harnack inequalities with respect to a symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $α\in (0,2)$, $d\geq 2$. We study the example from the article \cite{bg-sz-1}. There, the authors have associated the Harnack inequality with the relative Kato condition, which is a condition on the Lévy measure. By checking the condition, in the case $α\in (0,1)$, they have established that the Harnack inequality does not hold. We give an alternative proof of this fact, using the setting of \cite{bg-sz-1}. We define the harmonic functions explicitly. For a given starting point of the process, we examine the probability of hitting a certain set at the first exit time of a unit ball. Moreover, we also examine the weak Harnack inequality for a certain class of symmetric $α$-stable Lévy processes. We consider a symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process, $α\in (0,2)$, for which a spherical part $μ$ of the Lévy measure is a spectral measure. In addition, we assume that $μ$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the uniform measure $σ$ on the sphere and impose certain bounds on the corresponding density. Eventually, we show that the weak Harnack inequality holds.
