Abstract: We prove that a general (not necessarily symmetric) L'evy process killed on exiting a bounded open set (without regular condition on the boundary) is intrinsically ultracontractive, provided that B(0,R0)subseteqmsupp(u) for some constant R0>0, where msupp(u) denotes the support of the associated L'evy measure u. For a symmetric L'evy process killed on exiting a bounded H"older domain of order 0, we also obtain the intrinsic ultracontractivity under much weaker assumption on the associated L'evy measure.


The authors prove ``that a general (not necessarily symmetric) Lévy process killed on exiting a bounded open set (without regular condition on the boundary) is intrinsically ultracontractive, provided that a ball around the origin is contained in the support of the Lévy measure of the process. They provide a nice literature survey: the new point in their main result is that ``it gets rid of any regularity condition on [the] bounded open set \(D\) to ensure the intrinsic ultracontracitvity of [the] associated Dirichlet semigroups for general Lévy processes with finite range jumps. Besides [they] do not require that [the] Lévy measure has an absolutely continuous part. The authors always assume that the process has a continuous, bounded and strictly positive transition density. ``For a symmetric Lévy process killed on exiting a bounded Hölder domain of order 0, [they] also obtain the intrinsic ultracontractivity under much weaker assumption on the associated Lévy measure. In this context they use a logarithmic distance integrability assumption. Finally, the authors mention that the results can be generalized to a large class of Lévy type processes.
