We assume that $C = (c_{ij}) geq 0$ almost everywhere, but allow for the possibility that $C$ is singular. We associate with $H$ a canonical self-adjoint viscosity operator $H_0$ and examine properties of the viscosity semigroup $S^{(0)}$ generated by $H_0$. The semigroup extends to a positive contraction semigroup on the $L_p$-spaces with $p in [1,infty]$. We establish that it conserves probability, satisfies $L_2$~off-diagonal bounds and that the wave equation associated with $H_0$ has finite speed of propagation. Nevertheless $S^{(0)}$ is not always strictly positive because separation of the system can occur even for subelliptic operators. This demonstrates that subelliptic semigroups are not ergodic in general and their kernels are neither strictly positive nor H"older continuous. In particular one can construct examples for which both upper and lower Gaussian bounds fail even with coefficients in $C^{2-varepsilon}(Ri^d)$ with $varepsilon > 0$. | | Source: | arXiv, math/0601307 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
