Abstract.
Subordination of a killed Brownian motion in a domain D⊂ℝd via an α/2-stable subordinator gives rise to a process Z t whose infinitesimal generator is −(−Δ| D )α/2, the fractional power of the negative Dirichlet Laplacian. In this paper we establish upper and lower estimates for the density, Green function and jumping function of Z t when D is either a bounded C 1,1 domain or an exterior C 1,1 domain. Our estimates are sharp in the sense that the upper and lower estimates differ only by a multiplicative constant.
