Global Hypoellipticity and Compactness of Resolvent for Fokker-Planck Operator

Li, Wei-Xi LU (2010)
Abstract
In this paper we study the Fokker-Planck operator with potential V (x), and analyze some kind of conditions imposed on the potential to ensure the validity of global hypoelliptic estimates (see Theorem 1.1).

As a consequence, we obtain the compactness of resolvent of the Fokker-Planck operator if either the Witten Laplacian on 0-forms has a compact resolvent or some additional assumption on the behavior of the potential at infinity is fulfilled. This work improves the previous results of H´erau-Nier and Helffer-Nier, by obtaining a better global hypoelliptic estimate under weaker assumptions on the potential.
