On Calabi's strong maximum principle via local semi-Dirichlet forms
Abstract.
I will talk about an extension of E. Calabi's strong maximum principle in the framework of strong Feller diffusion processes associated with local regular semi-Dirichlet forms. The proof is quite stochastic and the result can be applicable to the Gromov-Hausdorff limit spaces over compact Riemannian manifolds with uniform bound of diameter and uniform lower bound of Ricci curvature.
