Liouville theorems based on Dirichlet integrals. (English) Zbl 0917.31005

Noguchi, J. (ed.) et al., Geometric complex analysis. Proceedings of the conference held at the 3rd International Research Institute of the Mathematical Society of Japan, Hayama, March 19–29, 1995. Singapore: World Scientific. 323-330 (1996).
The author considers a regular Dirichlet space \(({\mathcal E, F})\) (where \({\mathcal E}\) is a symmetric bilinear form and \(F\) is a Hilbert space) with some properties ensuring that the corresponding Hunt process is a diffusion with no killing inside. If \(({\mathcal E, F})\) is irreducible and recurrent, the Liouville property for subharmonic functions is related to vanishing of the capacity at infinity. The existence of the exhaustion function for Liouville’s theorem, by using the Hellinger integral, is assured by the recurrence of the corresponding diffusion.
