Martin-Kuramochi boundary and reflecting symmetric diffusion (Q1584540)

Let \( (X,d) \) be a locally compact separable metric space with a Radon probability measure \(m\) satisfying \(\text{supp}[m]=X\) and \((\mathcal{E},\mathcal{F})\) be a Dirichlet space on \( L^2(X,m) \) with the strong local property. For the operator \( R_{\alpha} \) from \( L^2(X,m) \) to \( \mathcal{H}_{\alpha} \), the collection of the \( \alpha \)-harmonic functions on \( X \), the Kuramochi kernel \( K_{\alpha}(x,y) \) is defined by \( G_{\alpha}(x,y)+R_{\alpha,y}(x) \), where \( G_{\alpha}(x,y) \) is the resolvent kernel (assumed its existence), and \( R_{\alpha,y}(x) \) is the kernel of the following representation \[ R_{\alpha}f(\cdot)=\int_XR_{\alpha ,y}f(y)dm(y). \] Originating from Fukushima, the Kuramochi boundary is considered as the reflecting barrier which is defined as the equivalence sequences \({K_1(x_n,\cdot)} \) of \(x_n\in X \). A sufficient condition for the existence of the reflecting diffusion on the domain, satisfying a condition weaker than boundedness, is proven based on having the strong Cacciopoli property. And in this mechanism the diffusion coefficient is allowed to degenerate on the reflecting barrier.
