Extending state space to make a process Feller
Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and let $Y_t$ be a continuous Markov process on $X$ with transition function $P(t, x, \Gamma) := \mathbb{P}_x (Y_t \in \Gamma)$. Let $T_t$ be the ...

Is there a regular Dirichlet form with no associated Feller process?
I'm reading Dirichlet Forms and Symmetric Markov Processes by M. Fukushima, Y. Oshima, and M. Takeda (hereafter, [FOT]). In Chapter 7, where they discuss the construction of a Markov process ...

Symmetric Feller processes and Dirichlet forms
Let $(G, \mathcal D)$ be a densely defined operator on $C_0$ (continuous functions vanishing at infinity on some nice topological space) whose closure $\bar G$ generates a Feller semigroup and let $X$ ...

Compactness of semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions
I have a question about semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions.
Let $X$ be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process on $\mathbb{R}$. The generator is expresses as
$$\frac{d^2}{dx^2}-x\frac{d}{dx}.$$
It is ...

Infinitesimal generators of random evolutions
Consider two state spaces $X$ and $Y$ and infinitesimal generators of Markov processes $(A_y)_{y\in Y}$ and $B$, on $X$ and $Y$ respectively. We assume that $A_y$ share the same domain $D(A)$, and ...

How does one define the gradient of a Markov semigroup?
In the context of functional inequalities for Markov semigroups $(\mathcal P_t)_{t\ge0}$, what is one denoting by $\nabla\mathcal P_tf$? For example, I've found the following assumption in this paper:
...

Bounded-pointwise continuity of Markov operators / semigroups
Let $B_b(E)$ be the space of bounded measurable functions on some Polish space $E$ endowed with the supremum norm. It seems quite classical that Markov semigroups $P_t:B_b(E)\to B_b(E)$ are in one to ...

Is there a way to detect instantaneous states of a Feller Process from its infinitesimal generator?
I’m working with generators of Feller processes. If $C(E)$ is the space of continuous functions over $E$; with $E$ a compact metric space, I proved that an operator $G$ over $C(E)$ is the ...

Is a linear combination of Markov generator a Markov generator?
Let $X$ be a compact metric set and $\mathcal{C}(X)$ be the set on continuous real functions over $X$ endowed with the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}$. Let $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ be two Markov ...

If $(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ is a Markov semigroup with invariant measure $μ$, under which assumption is $t\mapsto\kappa_tf$ measurable for $f\in L^p(μ)$?
Let
$(E,\mathcal E)$ be a measurable space;
$(\kappa_t)_{t\ge0}$ be a Markov semigroup on $(E,\mathcal E)$;
$\mu$ be a finite measure on $(E,\mathcal E)$ which is subinvariant with respect to $(\...
