Principal eigenvalue
Let τ denote the exit time of X from D,
τ = inf{t ≥ 0 : X (t) 6∈ D}.
General principles (compactness of resolvents for Lγ , Krein-Rutman theorem) give
I −Lγ has a discrete spectrum consisting of eigenvalues.
I ∃ simple strictly positive e.v., the principal e.v., unique minimizer of real part.
Denote principal e.v. by λc (γ).
Probabilistically,
λc (γ) is the exponential tail for τ

Statement of problem

Regimes
Recall we assume V ∈ C(D) is strictly positive and has (finite) limits at ∂D.
Asymptotic of λc (γ) strongly related to behavior of V near ∂D.
We identify two regimes :
I Nondegenerate. inf V > 0 (treated by P,PA)

Notation
I σ surface area measure on ∂D.
I Dε = {x ∈ D : dist(x, ∂D) < ε}.I D smooth.
For ε > 0 small and x ∈ Dε unique “projection” p(x) ∈ ∂D minimizer of distance to ∂D.
Theorem 1Assume inf V > 0 and µ has density on Dε given by

What if V vanishes on ∂D ?
Numerator of RHS does not make sense.
Assume that V (x) ∼ dist(x, ∂D)α, α > 0.
Approximating numerator by volume integrals, formula heuristically predicts :

but does not predict order sharply, except for α = 2.
I “Phase transition” at α = 1 : denominator converges for α < 1; diverges for α ≥ 1.(equivalently, jump process is positive recurrent for α < 1; null-recurrent for α ≥ 1)

More heuristics ?
I Fact. When V is compactly supported, limγ→∞ λc (γ) <∞.
Proof. Suppose x is outside K , the support of V .Then τ is greater than the exit time of BM from D\K .Hence tail uniformly bounded above. �
BB Expect λc (γ) = O(√γ).
I Intuition (?). When V is small near ∂D, then X has better chance of exiting beforebeing redistributed.
BB Expect√γ = O(λc (γ)).
( “? ” because less jumps lower chance of approaching boundary quickly throughfrequent jumps...)
