In a detailed and accessible manner, Zhen-Qing Chen and Masatoshi Fukushima cover the essential elements and applications of the theory of symmetric Markov processes, including recurrence/transience criteria, probabilistic potential theory, additive functional theory, and time change theory. The authors develop the theory in a general framework of symmetric quasi-regular Dirichlet forms in a unified manner with that of regular Dirichlet forms, emphasizing the role of extended Dirichlet spaces and the rich interplay between the probabilistic and analytic aspects of the theory. Chen and Fukushima then address the latest advances in the theory, presented here for the first time in any book. Topics include the characterization of time-changed Markov processes in terms of Douglas integrals and a systematic account of reflected Dirichlet spaces, and the important roles such advances play in the boundary theory of symmetric Markov processes. This volume is an ideal resource for researchers and practitioners, and can also serve as a textbook for advanced graduate students. It includes examples, appendixes, and exercises with solutions. 410 0$aLondon Mathematical Society monographs ;$vv. 35. 606 $aMarkov processes 606 $aBoundary value problems 606 $aDirichlet problem 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBeurling-Deny decomposition. 610 $aBeurling-Deny formula. 610 $aBrownian motions. 610 $aDirichlet forms. 610 $aDirichlet spaces. 610 $aDouglas integrals. 610 $aFeller measures. 610 $aHausdorff topological space. 610 $aMarkov processes. 610 $aMarkovian symmetric operators. 610 $aSilverstein extension. 610 $aadditive functional theory. 610 $aadditive functionals. 610 $aanalytic concepts. 610 $aanalytic potential theory. 610 $aboundary theory. 610 $acountable boundary. 610 $adecompositions. 610 $aenergy functional. 610 $aextended Dirichlet spaces. 610 $afine properties. 610 $aharmonic functions. 610 $aharmonicity. 610 $ahitting distributions. 610 $airreducibility. 610 $alateral condition. 610 $alocal properties. 610 $am-tight special Borel. 610 $amany-point extensions. 610 $aone-point extensions. 610 $apart processes. 610 $apath behavior. 610 $aperturbed Dirichlet forms. 610 $apositive continuous additive functionals. 610 $aprobabilistic derivation. 610 $aprobabilistic potential theory. 610 $aquasi properties. 610 $aquasi-homeomorphism. 610 $aquasi-regular Dirichlet forms. 610 $arecurrence. 610 $areflected Dirichlet spaces. 610 $areflecting Brownian motions. 610 $areflecting extensions. 610 $aregular Dirichlet forms. 610 $aregular recurrent Dirichlet forms. 610 $asmooth measures. 610 $asymmetric Hunt processes. 610 $asymmetric Markov processes. 610 $asymmetric Markovian semigroups. 610 $aterminal random variables. 610 $atime change theory. 610 $atime changes. 610 $atime-changed process. 610 $atransience. 610 $atransient regular Dirichlet forms. 615 0$aMarkov processes. 615 0$aBoundary value problems. 615 0$aDirichlet problem. 676 $a519.233 700 $aChen$b Zhen-Qing$0514801 701 $aFukushima$b Masatoshi$055765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461568703321 996 $aSymmetric Markov processes, time change, and boundary theory$9850816 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04413nam 2200721Ia 450 001 9910970084703321 005 20251116191402.0 010 $a9786612360206 010 $a9780520940574 010 $a0520940571 010 $a9781282360204 010 $a1282360205 010 $a9781433708404 010 $a143370840X 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520940574 035 $a(CKB)1000000000354333 035 $a(EBL)301110 035 $a(OCoLC)476080501 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000153523 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11152428 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000153523 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10392217 035 $a(PQKB)10522364 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC301110 035 $a(DE-B1597)519090 035 $a(OCoLC)290548268 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520940574 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL301110 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10178202 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL236020 035 $a(Perlego)552081 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000354333 100 $a20061221d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe farmworkers' journey /$fAnn Aurelia Lopez 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (363 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a9780520250727 311 0 $a0520250729 311 0 $a9780520250734 311 0 $a0520250737 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIllustrations --$tPreface --$tAcknowledgments --$t1.

Over the course of ten years, Ann Aurelia López conducted a series of intimate interviews with farmworkers and their families along the migrant circuit. She deftly weaves their voices together with up-to-date research to portray a world hidden from most Americans-a world of inescapable poverty that has worsened considerably since NAFTA was implemented in 1994. In fact, today it has become nearly impossible for rural communities in Mexico to continue to farm the land sustainably, leaving few survival options except the perilous border crossing to the United States. The Farmworkers' Journey brings together for the first time the many facets of this issue into a comprehensive and accessible narrative: how corporate agribusiness operates, how binational institutions and laws promote the subjugation of Mexican farmworkers, how migration affects family life, how genetically modified corn strains pouring into Mexico from the United States are affecting farmers, how migrants face exploitation from employers, and more. A must-read for all Americans, The Farmworkers' Journey traces the human consequences of our policy decisions. 606 $aMigrant agricultural laborers$zCalifornia 606 $aMigrant agricultural laborers$zMexico 615 0$aMigrant agricultural laborers 615 0$aMigrant agricultural laborers 676 $a331.5/4408968720794 700 $aLo?pez$b Ann Aurelia$f1945-$01890218 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970084703321 996 $aThe farmworkers' journey$94531946 997 $aUNINA
