Abstract
Let (X t ) t⩾0 be a symmetric strong Markov process generated by non-local regular Dirichlet form as follows:
where J(x, y) is a strictly positive and symmetric measurable function on ℝd×ℝd. We study the intrinsic hypercontractivity, intrinsic supercontractivity, and intrinsic ultracontractivity for the Feynman-Kac semigroup
In particular, we prove that for with α ∈ (0, 2) and V(x) = |x|λ with λ > 0, (T V t ) t⩾0 is intrinsically ultracontractive if and only if λ > 1; and that for symmetric α-stable process (X t ) t⩾0 with α ∈ (0, 2) and V(x) = logλ (1+|x|) with some λ > 0, (T V t ) t⩾0 is intrinsically ultracontractive (or intrinsically supercontractive) if and only if λ > 1, and (T V t ) t⩾0 is intrinsically hypercontractive if and only if λ ⩾ 1. Besides, we also investigate intrinsic contractivity properties of (T V t ) t⩾0 for the case that lim inf|x|→+∞ V(x) < +∞.
