Global properties of Dirichlet forms on discrete spaces

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We provide an introduction to Dirichlet forms on discrete spaces and study their global properties such as recurrence, stochastic completeness and regularity of the Neumann form. In this setting we compare the notion of a recurrent Dirichlet form and a recurrent discrete time Markov chain of a given graph. We prove several known and several new characterizations of recurrence by using functional analytic Dirichlet form methods only. Finally, we compare all the mentioned global properties and discuss their relation to spectral theory.
