Strong uniqueness for both Dirichlet operators and stochastic dynamics to Gibbs measures on a path space with exponential interactions (Q656210)

The authors prove \(L^p\)-uniqueness of Dirichlet operators for Gibbs measures on the path space \(C(\mathbb R, \mathbb R^d)\) associated with exponential type interactions in infinite volume by extending an SPDE approach. An SPDE characterization of the corresponding dynamics is also given. In particular, the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution for the SPDE is proved. As examples, the stochastic quantization of \(P(\phi)_1\)-, \(\exp(\phi)_1\)-, and trigonometric quantum fields in infinite volume are considered. In particular, the presented results imply essential self-adjointness of the generator of the stochastic dynamics for these models. Finally, some functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups generated by the above Dirichlet operators are proved.
