Abstract: We consider the Laplacian and its fractional powers of order less than one on the complement $mathbb{R}^{d}setminusSigma$ of a given compact set $Sigmasubsetmathbb{R}^d$ of zero Lebesgue measure. Depending on the size of $Sigma$, the operator under consideration, equipped with the smooth compactly supported functions on $mathbb{R}^{d}setminusSigma$, may or may not be essentially self-ajoint. We survey well known descriptions for the critical size of $Sigma$ in terms of capacities and Hausdorff measures. In addition, we collect some known results for certain two-parameter stochastic processes. What we finally want to point out is, that, although a priori essential self-adjointness is not a notion directly related to classical probability, it admits a characterization via Kakutani type theorems for such processes.
