This chapter studies a symmetric Hunt process associated with a regular Dirichlet form. Without loss of generality, the majority of the chapter assumes that E is a locally compact separable metric space, m is a positive Radon measure on E with supp[m] = E, and X = (Xₜ, Pₓ) is an m-symmetric Hunt process on (E,B(E)) whose Dirichlet form (E,F) is regular on L²(E; m). It adopts without any specific notices those potential theoretic terminologies and notations that are formulated in the previous chapter for the regular Dirichlet form (E,F). Furthermore, throughout this chapter, the convention that any numerical function on E is extended to the one-point compactification E ∂ = E ∪ {∂} by setting its value at δ‎ to be zero is adopted.

Extending fundamental work of M. Fukushima, M. L. Silverstein, S. Carrillo Menendez, and Y. Le Jan (cf. [F71a, 80], [Si74], [Ca-Me75], [Le77]) it was recently discovered that there is a one-to-one correspondence between (equivalent classes of) all pairs of sectorial right processes and quasi-regular Dirichlet forms (see [AM91], [AM92], [AMR90], [AMR92a], [AMR92b], [MR92]). Based on the potential theory for quasi-regular Dirichlet forms, it was shown that any quasi-regular Dirichlet form on a general state space can be considered as a regular Dirichlet form on a locally compact separable metric space by “local compactification”. There are several ways to implement this local compactification. One relies on h-transformation which was mentioned in [AMR90, Remark 1.4]. A direct way using a modified Ray-Knight compactification was announced on the “5th French-German meeting: Bielefeld Encounters in Mathematics and Physics IX. Dynamics in Complex and Irregular Systems”, Bielefeld, December 16 to 21, 1991, and the “Third European Symposium on Analysis and Probability”, Paris, January 3-10, 1992, and appeared in [MR92, Chap. VI] and [AMR92b] (see also the proof of Theorem 3.7 below). One can also do this by Gelfand-transform. This way was found by the first named author independetly and announced in the “12th Seminar on Stochastic Processes”, Seattle, March 26-28, 1992. It will be discussed in Section 4.

All topological spaces here are assumed to be T2. The collection F(Y)of all homeomorphisms whose domains and ranges are closed subsets of a topological space Y is an inverse semigroup under the operation of composition. We are interested in the general problem of getting some information about the subsemigroups of F(Y) whenever Y is a compact metric space. Here, we specifically look at the problem of determining those spaces X with the property that F(X) is isomorphic to a subsemigroup of F(Y). The main result states that if X is any first countable space with an uncountable number of points, then the semigroup F(X) can be embedded into the semigroup F(Y) if and only if either X is compact and Y contains a copy of X, or X is noncompact and locally compact and Y contains a copy of the one-point compactification of X.

Compact Subsets

It is well known (see [3](1)) that no continuum (i.e. compact, connected, Hausdorff space) can be written as a countable disjoint union of its (nonvoid) closed subsets. This result can be generalized in two ways into the setting of locally compact, connected, Hausdorff spaces. Using the one point compactification of a locally compact, connected, Hausdorff space X one can easily show that X cannot be written as a countable disjoint union of compact subsets. If one makes the further assumption that X is locally connected, then one can show that X cannot be written as a countable disjoint union of closed subsets.(2)

Metrization Theorem

The first eight sections of this chapter constitute its core and are generally parallel to the leading sections of chapter 4. Most of the sections are brief and emphasize the nonmetric aspects of topology. Among the topics treated are normality, regularity, and second countability. The proof of Tychonoff’s theorem for finite products appears in section 8. The section on locally compact spaces is the transition between the core of the chapter and the more advanced sections on metrization, compactification, and the product of infinitely many spaces. The highlights include the one-point compactification, the Urysohn metrization theorem, and Tychonoff’s theorem. Little subsequent material is based on the last three sections. At various points in the book, it is explained how results stated for the metric case can be extended to topological spaces, especially locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Some such results are developed in the exercises.

Number Of Authors

Dirichlet forms and their associated function spaces have been studied by a number of authors [4, 6, 7, 12, 15–18, 22, 25, 26]. Important motivation for the study has been the connection of Dirichlet forms with Markov processes [16–18, 25, 26]: for example, to every regular symmetric Dirichlet form, there is an associated Hunt process [13, 20]. This makes the theory of Dirichlet forms a convenient source of examples of Hunt processes. In the non-commutative setting, Markov fields have been studied by several authors [1–3, 14, 19, 24, 28]. It is therefore interesting to develop a non-commutative extension of the theory of Dirichlet forms and to study their connection with non-commutative Markov processes.

We show that any strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that satisfies the mild structural condition D3 is associated to a Hunt process, and that the associated Hunt process can be approximated by a sequence of multivariate Poisson processes. This also gives a new proof for the existence of a Hunt process associated to a strictly quasi-regular generalized Dirichlet form that satisfies SD3 and extends all previous results.

This chapter turns to reflected Dirichlet spaces. It first introduces the notion of terminal random variables and harmonic functions of finite energy for a Hunt process associated with a transient regular Dirichlet form. The chapter next establishes several equivalent notions of reflected Dirichlet space (ℰ ref,ℱ ref) for a regular transient Dirichlet form (E,F). One of these equivalent notions is then used to define reflected Dirichlet space for a regular recurrent Dirichlet form. Moreover, the chapter gives yet another equivalent definition of reflected Dirichlet space that is invariant under quasi-homeomorphism of Dirichlet forms. Various concrete examples of reflected Dirichlet spaces are also exhibited for regular Dirichlet forms. Finally, the chapter defines a Silverstein extension of a quasi-regular Dirichlet form (E,F) on L²(E; m) and investigates the equivalence of analytic and probabilistic concepts of harmonicity.

This chapter is devoted to the study of additive functionals of symmetric Markov processes under the same setting as in the preceding chapter, namely, that E is a locally compact separable metric space, B(E) is the family of all Borel sets of E, and m is a positive Radon measure on E with supp[m] = E, and this chapter considers an m-symmetric Hunt process X = (Ω‎,M,Xₜ,ζ‎,Pₓ) on (E,B(E)) whose Dirichlet form (E,F) on L²(E; m) is regular on L²(E; m). The transition function and the resolvent of X are denoted by {Pₜ; t ≥ 0}, {R α‎, α‎ > 0}, respectively. B*(E) will denote the family of all universally measurable subsets of E. Any numerical function f defined on E will be always extended to E ∂ by setting f(∂) = 0.

A convergence space is a set together with a notion of convergence of nets. It is well known how the one-point compactification can be constructed on noncompact, locally compact topological spaces. In this paper, we discuss the construction of the one-point compactification on noncompact convergence spaces and some of the properties of the one-point compactification of convergence spaces are also discussed.

Introducing the corresponding strict capacity, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized Dirichlet form to be associated with a Hunt process. We also show that Borel measurable sets with strict capacity zero can be checked-out by an appropriate subclass of smooth measures. In the last part of this paper we present applications to three classes of examples.
