Summary
Continuing earlier work on construction of harmonic spaces from translation invariant Dirichlet spaces defined on locally compact abelian groups, it is shown that the potential kernel for a non-symmetric translation invariant Dirichlet form on a locally compact abelian group under the extra assumptions that
-
(i)
the potential kernel is absolutely continuous and the “canonical” l.s.c. density is continuous in the complement of the neutral element.
-
(ii)
the theory is of local type.
-
(iii)
the underlying group is not discrete, can be interpreted as the potential kernel for a translation invariant axiomatic theory of harmonic functions, in which (among other properties) the domination axiom is fulfilled.
