文摘

We develop sufficient analytic conditions for conservativeness of non-sectorial perturbations of symmetric Dirichlet forms which can be represented through a carré du champ on a locally compact separable metric space. These form an important subclass of generalized Dirichlet forms which were introduced in [21]. In case there exists an associated strong Feller process, the analytic conditions imply conservativeness, i.e. non-explosion of the associated process in the classical probabilistic sense. As an application of our general results on locally compact separable metric state spaces, we consider a generalized Dirichlet form given on a closed or open subset of RdRd which is given as a divergence free first order perturbation of a symmetric energy form. Then using volume growth conditions of the carré du champ and the non-sectorial first order part, we derive an explicit criterion for conservativeness. We present several concrete examples which relate our results to previous ones obtained by different authors. In particular, we show that conservativeness can hold for a large variance if the anti-symmetric part of the drift is strong enough to compensate it. This work continues our previous work on transience and recurrence of generalized Dirichlet forms.
