Intrinsic ultracontractivity of nonsymmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts and potentials (Q948749)

The authors consider a non-symmetric diffusion process \(Y\) with measure-valued drift and measure-valued potential in bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^d\), \(d\geq 3.\) Using their previous results, they prove that, with respect to a certain reference measure, \(Y\) has a dual process which is a continuous Hunt process satisfying the strong Feller property. They also prove parabolic Harnack principles for the killed diffusion \(Y^D\) and its dual process. Then they show that the parabolic boundary Harnack principles imply that the semigroups of \(Y^D\) and its dual are intrinsically ultracontractive.
