Martin Kernels for Markov Processes with Jumps

摘要

We prove the existence of boundary limits of ratios of positive harmonic functions for a wide class of Markov processes with jumps and irregular (possibly disconnected) domains of harmonicity, in the context of general metric measure spaces. As a corollary, we prove the uniqueness of the Martin kernel at each boundary point, that is, we identify the Martin boundary with the topological boundary. We also prove a Martin representation theorem for harmonic functions. Examples covered by our results include: strictly stable L,vy processes in R (d) with positive continuous density of the L,vy measure; stable-like processes in R (d) and in domains; and stable-like subordinate diffusions in metric measure spaces.
