Abstract
When studying non-symmetric nonlocal operators on Rd:Lf(x)=â«Rd(f(x+z)âf(x)ââf(x)â
z1{|z|⩽1})κ(x,z)|z|d+αdz, where 0<α<2, d⩾1, and κ(x,z) is a function on RdÃRd that is bounded between two positive constants, it is customary to assume that κ(x,z) is symmetric in z. In this paper, we study heat kernel of L and derive its two-sided sharp bounds without the symmetric assumption κ(x,z)=κ(x,âz). In fact, we allow the kernel κ to be time-dependent and xâκ(t,x,z) to be only locally β-Hölder continuous with Hölder constant possibly growing at a polynomial rate in |z|. We also derive gradient estimate when βâ(0â¨(1âα),1) as well as fractional derivative estimate of order θâ(0,(α+β)â§2) for the heat kernel. Moreover, when αâ(1,2), drift perturbation of the time-dependent non-local operator Lt with drift in Kato's class is also studied in this paper. As an application, when κ(x,z)=κ(z) does not depend on x, we show the boundedness of nonlocal Riesz's transformation: for any p>2d/(d+α),âL1/2fâpââÎ(f)1/2âp, where Î(f):=12L(f2)âfLf is the carré du champ operator associated with L, and L1/2 is the square root operator of L defined by using Bochner's subordination. Here â means that both sides are comparable up to a constant multiple.
