This is motivated by a large class of examples and by a known analogous criterion for recurrence of Brownian motion. We show that the suggested implication is not true in general. We also give counter-examples to a converse implication.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-11-13T15:37:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58J35", "58J65" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic completeness", "volume growth condition", "geodesically complete riemannian manifolds", "brownian motion", "converse implication" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Proc.
