Joint subnormality of a family of composition operators on L²-space is characterized by means of positive definiteness of appropriate Radon-Nikodym derivatives. Next, simplified positive definiteness conditions guaranteeing joint subnormality of a C₀-semigroup of composition operators are supplied. Finally, the Radon-Nikodym derivatives associated to a jointly subnormal C₀-semigroup of composition operators are shown to be the Laplace transforms of probability measures (modulo a C₀-group of scalars)...

In the previous paper, we have characterized (joint) subnormality of a C₀-semigroup of composition operators on L²-space by positive definiteness of the Radon-Nikodym derivatives attached to it at each rational point. In the present paper, we show that in the case of C₀-groups of composition operators on L²-space the positive definiteness requirement can be replaced by a kind of consistency condition which seems to be simpler to work with. It turns out that the consistency condition also characterizes...

Given a family of Lévy measures ν={ν(x, ⋅)}x∈ℝd, the present work deals with the regularity of harmonic functions and the Feller property of corresponding jump processes. The main aim is to establish continuity estimates for harmonic functions under weak assumptions on the family ν. Different from previous contributions the method covers cases where lower bounds on the probability of hitting small sets degenerate.
