Abstract

Let $M$ be a connected geodesically complete Riemannian manifold without boundary, write $\mu$ for Riemannian volume, and set $V(o,r)=\mu(B(o,r))$ for geodesic balls centered at $o$. For $0<\alpha<2$, let $X^{(\alpha)}$ be the process obtained by subordinating Brownian motion with an independent $\alpha/2$-stable subordinator; its $L^2$-generator is $-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$. We prove that \[ \int^\infty\frac{dt}{V(o,t^{1/\alpha})}=\infty \] implies that \(X^{(\alpha)}\) is recurrent. The proof uses a spectral trace estimate and radial cutoffs on $M\times(0,\infty)$, where the auxiliary measure is $y^{1-\alpha}\,d\mu\,dy$. It proves the sufficient implication in Grigor'yan's Problem~26.

Two Growth Filtrations for Drift Laplacians: Compatibility, Rigidity, and an Inverse Hermite/Laguerre Theorem

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete, connected, noncompact Riemannian manifold, and let $f\ge0$ be a proper $C^2$ weight. We assume polynomial bounds on $f$, $|\nabla f|$, and $\Delta f$ (Assumptions H1-H3), with growth exponent $\alpha>0$. We study the drift Laplacian $L_f=\Delta-\langle\nabla f,\nabla\cdot\rangle$ on $L^2(M,...

Improved sup-norm bounds for locally symmetric spaces

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type, of dimension $n$ and rank $r$, and let $Y=\Gamma\backslash X$. Sarnak's local bound for an $L^2$-normalized spherical joint eigenfunction with regular tempered parameter of size $T$ is $\|\phi\|_\infty\ll T^{(n-r)/2}$. We prove $o(T^{(n-r)/2})$ locally uniformly on e...

Boundary Geometry and Surjective Linear Isometries of Weighted Hardy Spaces

Let $D\subset\mathbb C^n$, $n\geq 2$, be a bounded pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary, and let $H^p_\omega(D)$ be the Hardy space defined using a weighted boundary measure $\omega\,d\sigma$, where $\omega$ is bounded above and bounded away from zero. For every $0<p<\infty$, $p\neq2$, we prove that each surjective...
