Unlike our previous works [6,7] where we imposed critical killing, here we assume that the killing potential is identically zero. In case $\\alpha\\in (1,2)$ we first show that the corresponding Hunt process has finite lifetime and dies at the boundary. Then, as our main contribution, we prove the boundary Harnack principle and establish sharp two-sided Green function estimates. Our results cover the case of the censored $\\alpha$-stable process, $\\alpha\\in (1,2)$, in the half-space studied in [2].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-03-20T17:35:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J45", "60J50", "60J76" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet forms degenerate", "killing potential", "potential theory", "sharp two-sided green function estimates", "establish sharp two-sided green function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
