Abstract

In this paper, we establish sharp two-sided estimates for the Green functions of non-symmetric diffusions with measure-valued drifts in bounded Lipschitz domains. As consequences of these estimates, we get a 3G type theorem and a conditional gauge theorem for these diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains. Informally the Schrödinger-type operators we consider are of the form L + μ ṡ ∇ + ν where L is a uniformly elliptic second order differential operator, μ is a vector-valued signed measure belonging to Kd, 1 and ν is a signed measure belonging to Kd, 2. In this paper, we establish two-sided estimates for the heat kernels of Schrödinger-type operators in bounded C1, 1-domains and a scale invariant boundary Harnack principle for the positive harmonic functions with respect to Schrödinger-type operators in bounded Lipschitz domains.
