Martingale and analytic dimensions

Abstract

These notes introduce the martingale dimension of a strongly local regular Dirichlet form and the analytic dimension of a Lipschitz differentiability space. We explain why these dimensions coincide under two-sided Gaussian heat kernel estimates and discuss their relationships with other notions of dimension. We also introduce the energy image density property, its recent resolution, and its applications to martingale dimension. Finally, we show that spaces carrying diffusions with two-sided sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates of walk dimension greater than two are not Lipschitz differentiability spaces.
