L^1-uniqueness of the Fokker-Planck equation on a Riemannian manifold

Abstract: In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for

L^{i n f t y}

-uniqueness of Sturm-Liouville operator

a (x) f r a c d^{2} d x^{2} + b (x) f r a c d d x - V

on an open interval of

r

, which is equivalent to the

L^{1}

-uniqueness of the associated Fokker-Planck equation. For a general elliptic operator

L L^{V} := D e l t a + b c d o t a b l a - V

on a Riemannian manifold, we obtain sharp sufficient conditions for the

L^{1}

-uniqueness of the Fokker-Planck equation associated with

L L^{V}

, via comparison with a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville operator. Furthermore the

L^{1}

-Liouville property is derived as a direct consequence of the

L^{i} n f t y

-uniqueness of

L L^{V}

.
