The infinitesimal generator of a subordinate Brownian motion is $-\\phi(-\\Delta)$, where $\\phi$ is the Laplace exponent of the subordinator. In this paper, we consider a large class of subordinate Brownian motions without diffusion component and with $\\phi$ comparable to a regularly varying function at infinity. This class of processes includes symmetric stable processes, relativistic stable processes, sums of independent symmetric stable processes, sums of independent relativistic stable processes, and much more. We give sharp two-sided estimates on the Green functions of these subordinate Brownian motions in any bounded $\\kappa$-fat open set $D$. When $D$ is a bounded $C^{1,1}$ open set, we establish an explicit form of the estimates in terms of the distance to the boundary. As a consequence of such sharp Green function estimates, we obtain a boundary Harnack principle in $C^{1,1}$ open sets with explicit rate of decay.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-02-09T09:20:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J45", "60J75", "60G51" ], "keywords": [ "two-sided green function estimates", "killed subordinate brownian motions", "open set", "relativistic stable processes", "symmetric stable processes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.5455K" } } }
