Elliptic Harnack inequalities for symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms (Q1739220)

The authors study symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms on metric measure spaces. The authors allow the scaling function be state-dependent and the state space possibly disconnected. The authors study also whether Harnack inequalities are stable under perturbations of the associated quadratic forms and under rough isometries. The stability problem of the elliptic Harnack inequality is a difficult one. Bass proved stability of elliptic Harnack inequality under some strong global bounded geometry condition. Quite recently, this assumption has been relaxed significantly by Barlow-Murugan to a bounded geometry condition. \par The aim of this paper is to investigate relations among various elliptic Harnack inequalities and to study their stability for symmetric non-local Dirichlet forms under a general setting of metric measure spaces. Stability of elliptic Harnack inequalities is established under certain regularity conditions, and implication for a priori Hölder regularity of harmonic functions is explored. New equivalent and quite surprising statements for parabolic Harnack inequalities of non-local Dirichlet forms are obtained in terms of elliptic Harnack inequalities.
