On order isomorphisms intertwining semigroups for Dirichlet forms

Abstract

This paper is devoted to characterizing the so-called order isomorphisms intertwining the $L^2$-semigroups of two Dirichlet forms. We first show that every unitary order isomorphism intertwining semigroups is the composition of $h$-transformation and quasi-homeomorphism. In addition, under the absolute continuity condition on Dirichlet forms, every (not necessarily unitary) order isomorphism intertwining semigroups is the composition of $h$-transformation, quasi-homeomorphism, and multiplication by a certain step function.
