Lecture 7. Further topics

In this lecture let X be a locally compact and complete metric space equipped with a Radon measure μ supported on X. Let (ℰ, ℱ = dom(ℰ)) be a Dirichlet form on X. We assume throughout that the heat semigroup … Continue reading

Lecture 6. Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities in Dirichlet spaces

Let (X,μ,ℰ,ℱ) be a Dirichlet space and {Pt}t∈[0,∞) denote the associated Markovian semigroup. Throughout the lecture, we shall assume that P_t admits a measurable heat kernel pt(x,y) satisfying, for some C > 0 and β > 0, for μ × … Continue reading

Lecture 3. Markov semigroups and Dirichlet forms

Let (X, ℬ) be a measurable space. We say that (X, ℬ) is a good measurable space if there is a countable family generating ℬ and if every finite measure γ on (X × X, ℬ ⊗ ℬ) can be … Continue reading
