Derivative and divergence formulae for diffusion semigroups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For a semigroup Pt generated by an elliptic operator on a smooth manifold M, we use straightforward martingale arguments to derive probabilistic formulae for Pt(V(f)), not involving derivatives of f, where V is a vector field on M. For non-symmetric generators, such formulae correspond to the derivative of the heat kernel in the forward variable. As an application, these formulae can be used to derive various shift-Harnack inequalities.
