On estimates of the density of Feynman-Kac semigroups of α-stable-like processes

Suppose that α∈(0,2) and that X is an α-stable-like process on Rd. Let F be a function on Rd belonging to the class Jd,α (see Introduction) and be _∑s?tF(Xs−,Xs), t>0, a discontinuous additive functional of X. With neither F nor X being symmetric, under certain conditions, we show that the Feynman-Kac semigroup defined by

     

Intersection theory of algebraic obstructions

Let A be a noetherian commutative ring of dimension d and L be a rank one projectiveA-module. For 1≤r≤d, we define obstruction groups E^r(A,L). This extends the original definition due to Nori, in the case r=d. These groups would be called Euler class groups. In analogy to intersection theory in algebraic geometry, we define a product (intersection) E^r(A,A)×E^s(A,A)→E^r+s(A,A). For a projective A-module Q of rank n≤d, with an orientation , we define a Chern class like homomorphism

Strong asymptotic convergence of evolution equations governed by maximal monotone operators with Tikhonov regularization

We consider the Tikhonov-like dynamics where A is a maximal monotone operator on a Hilbert space and the parameter function ε(t) tends to 0 as t→∞ with . When A is the subdifferential of a closed proper convex function f, we establish strong convergence of u(t) towards the least-norm minimizer of f. In the general case we prove strong convergence towards the least-norm point in A⁻¹(0) provided that the function ε(t) has bounded variation, and provide a counterexample when this property fails.

Explicit formulas for Laplace transforms of certain functionals of some time inhomogeneous diffusions

We consider a process given by the SDE , t∈[0,T), with initial condition , where T∈(0,∞], α∈R, (Bt)_t∈[0,T) is a standard Wiener process, b:[0,T)→R?{0} and σ:[0,T)→(0,∞) are continuously differentiable functions.
