Dirichlet forms. We show that a Schr�dinger form is critical (resp. subcritical) if and only if

Abstract
Introducing the notion of extended Schr�dinger spaces, we define the criticality and subcriticality of Schr�dinger forms in the manner similar to the recurrence and transience of Dirichlet forms. We show that a Schr�dinger form is critical (resp. subcritical) if and only if there exists an excessive function of the associated Schr�dinger semigroup and the Dirichlet form defined by -transform of the excessive function is recurrent (resp. transient). We give an analytical condition for the subcriticality of Schr�dinger forms in terms of the bottom of spectrum.
