Dirichlet heat kernel estimates for cylindrical stable processes

Abstract: Let

d g e q 2

,

a l p h a i n (0, 2)

, and

X

be the cylindrical

a l p h a

-stable process on

m a t h b b R^{d}

. We first present a geometric characterization of an open subset

D s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{d}

so that the part process

X^{D}

of

X

in

D

is irreducible. We then study the properties of the transition density functions of

X^{D}

, including the strict positivity property as well as their sharp two-sided bounds in

C^{1, 1}

domains in

m a t h b b R^{d}

. Our bounds are shown to be sharp for a class of

C^{1, 1}

domains.
