Resolvent estimates for Fleming-Viot operators with Brownian drift (Q1279640)

This is a supplement to a joint paper of the author with \textit{D. A. Dawson} [ibid. 132, No. 2, 417-472 (1995; Zbl 0853.60043)] in which they studied generalizations of Fleming-Viot processes. A basic tool were estimates of the resolvent of Fleming-Viot processes in a two-parameter scale of Banach spaces of continuous functions on the space of probability measures on a state space \(X\). The main purpose of the present paper is to measure the smoothing property of the resolvent in the special case of Fleming-Viot processes in \(R^d\) with constant diffusion coefficient and Brownian drift. For it, similar estimates are derived on a different two-parameter scale of Banach spaces, which are defined in terms of the classical Sobolev spaces. They allow to record the gain of smoothness of the resolvent and separate the contribution due to the drift coefficient and the diffusion coefficient.
