Sur un théorème de Deny (
Potential theory,

In the potential theory of a resolvent which satisfies the absolute continuity hypothesis, every sequence of excessive functions contains a subsequence which converges except on a set of potential zero. It is also proved that a sequence which converges weakly in $L^1$ but not strongly must oscillate around its limit
Comment: a version of this result in classical potential theory was proved by Deny,

Résolvantes en dualité (

Given two sub-Markov resolvents in duality, whose kernels are absolutely continuous with respect to a given measure, it is shown how to choose their densities to get true Green kernels, excessive in one variable and coexcessive in the other one. It is shown also that coexcessive functions are exactly the densities of excessive measures

Les résolvantes fortement fellériennes d'après Mokobodzki (
Potential theory)
On a compact space, a submarkov kernel $N$ has the strong Feller property if it maps Borel bounded functions into continuous functions, and the stronger Feller property if the mapping $x\rightarrow \epsilon_x N$ is continuous in the norm topology of measures. It is proved that the product of two strong Feller kernels is stronger Feller, and as a consequence if the kernels of are resolvent are strong Feller they are automatically stronger Feller
Comment: This follows from a result on weakly compact operators on continuous functions due to Grothendieck (
Canadian J. Math.,
5, 1953). Mokobodzki's proof is less general (it uses positivity) but very simple. This result is rather useful

Compactifications associées à une résolvante (
Potential theory)
Let $E$ be a locally compact space, $(U_p)$ be a submarkovian resolvent, with a potential kernel $U=U_0$ which maps $C_k$ (the continuous functions with compact support) into continuous bounded functions. Let $F$ be a compact space containing $E$ as a dense subset, but inducing possibly a coarser topology. It is assumed that all potentials $Uf$ with $f\in C_k$ extend to continuous functions on $F$, and that points of $F$ are separated by continuous functions on $F$ whose restriction to $E$ is supermedian. Then it is shown how to extend the resolvent to $F$ and imitate the construction of a Ray semigroup and a strong Markov process. This was an attempt to compactify the space using only supermedian functions, not $p$-supermedian for all $p>0$. An application to Markov chains is given
Comment: This method of compactification suggested by Chung's boundary theory for Markov chains (similarly Doob,

Densité relative de deux potentiels comparables (

The main problem considered here is the following: given a transient resolvent $(V_{\lambda})$ on a measurable space, a finite potential $Vg$, an excessive function $u$ dominated by $Vg$ in the strong sense (i.e., $Vg-u$ is excessive), show that $u=Vf$ for some $f\leq g$, and compute $f$ by some ``derivation'' procedure, like $\lim_{\lambda\rightarrow\infty} \lambda(I-\lambda V_{\lambda})\,u$
Comment: The main theorem and the technical tools of its proof have been landmarks in the potential theory of a resolvent, though in the case of the resolvent of a good Markov process there is a simple probabilistic proof of the main result. Another exposition can be found in

Une note sur le théorème du balayage de Hunt (

The theorem involved is the characterization of the réduite $P_A u$ of an excessive function $u$ on a set $A$ as equal (except on a well-defined semipolar set) to the infimum of the excessive functions that dominate $u$ on $A$. This theorem is slightly improved under the absolute continuity hypothesis. The proof rests on the following property of the fine topology: every (nearly Borel) finely closed set is contained in a fine $G_\delta$ which differs from it by a polar set

Stopping sequences (
Markov processes,
Potential theory)
Given a discrete time Markov process $(X_n)$ with transition kernel $P$, a stopping sequence with initial distribution $\mu$ is a family $(\mu_n)$ of measures such that $\mu\ge\mu_0$ and $\mu_{k-1}P\ge\mu_k$. The stopping sequence associated with a stopping time $T$ is the sequence of distributions of $X_{T}, k< T<\infty$ under the law $P_\mu$. Every stopping sequence arises in this way from some randomized stopping time $T$, and the distribution of $X_T, T<\infty$ is independent of $T$ and called the final distribution. Then several constructions of stopping sequences are described, including Rost's ``filling scheme'', and several operations on stopping sequences, aiming at the construction of ``short'' stopping times in the Skorohod imbedding problem, without assuming transience of the process

Let $D$ a bounded open set in $
R^n$, and let $z$ be a boundary point. Then a barrier at $z$ is a superharmonic function in $D$, strictly positive and with a limit equal to $0$ at $z$. The barrier theorem asserts that if there is a barrier at $z$, then $z$ is regular. An elegant proof of this is given using Brownian motion. Then it is shown that the expectation of $S$, the hitting time of $D^c$, is bounded, upper semi-continuous in $R^n$ and continuous in $D$, and is a barrier at every regular point
