Intermittency for the parabolic Anderson model on spaces with sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates

With Hongyi Chen, Li Chen and Søren Kjærsgaard, we have posted a new paper, Intermittency for the parabolic Anderson model on spaces with sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates. This is a sequel to our earlier work on bounded domains of recurrent … Continue reading →

Riesz transforms on the Vicsek set

This post is about a long paper with Aobo Chen and Li Chen, Riesz transforms on the Vicsek set. I want to explain, without too much technicalities, what we prove and put the results into context. As a side note, … Continue reading →

Caccioppoli sets, Part II

After the general introduction to the theory of Caccioppoli sets that was presented in the previous post. I will now sketch some elements of the theory that was developed in our works: Besov class via heat semigroup on Dirichlet spaces … Continue reading →

Lecture 8. Sobolev inequalities on Dirichlet spaces: The Varopoulos approach

In this lecture, we study Sobolev inequalities on Dirichlet spaces. The  approach we develop is related to  Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theory The link between the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theory and heat kernel upper bounds is due to Varopoulos, but the proof I give below I … Continue reading →

Lecture 7. Diffusion operators as Markovian operators

In this section, we consider a diffusion operator where and are continuous functions on and for every , the matrix is a symmetric and non negative matrix. Our goal is to prove that if is essentially self-adjoint, then the semigroup … Continue reading →

Lecture 6. The Lp theory of Markovian semigroups

Our goal, in this lecture, is to define, for , on . This may be done in a natural way by using the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem that we recall below. Theorem: [Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem] Let , and . Define by … Continue reading →

Lecture 5. Dirichlet forms

As in the previous lecture, let be a good measurable space equipped with a -finite measure . Definition:  A function on is called a normal contraction of the function if for almost every , Definition:   Let be a densely defined … Continue reading →
