Abstract:
In this note, we study the existence of a
strong maximum principle for the nonlocal operator
where
is a topological group acting continuously on a
Hausdorff space
and
.
First we investigate the general situation and derive a pre-maximum
principle. Then we restrict our analysis to the case of homogeneous
spaces (i.e.,
).
For such Hausdorff spaces, depending
on the topology, we give a condition on
such that a strong
maximum principle holds for
.
We also revisit the classical
case of the convolution operator (i.e.
).
