Abstract

In the present paper, we give general criteria of conservativeness and recurrence for Markov processes associated with, not necessarily symmetric, Dirichlet spaces. The conservativeness criterion is applied to discuss a comparison theorem of conservativeness for diffusion processes. Also some sufficient conditions of conservativeness and recurrence for diffusion processes.are given.
