Abstract

We prove that the domain of the local Dirichlet form is strictly contained in the domain of any stable-like non-local Dirichlet form on general metric measure spaces. We construct explicit functions in the difference of the domains of the Dirichlet forms on the Sierpiński gasket and the Sierpiński carpet.
