Abstract: Our concern in this talk is the energy form induced by an eigenfunction of a self-adjoint extension of the restriction of the Laplace operator to $C_c^\infty(\mathbf{R}^3\setminus \{0\})$. We will prove that this energy form is a regular Dirichlet form with core $C_c^\infty(\mathbf{R}^3)$. The associated diffusion $X$ behaves like a $3$-dimensional Brownian motion with a mild radial drift when far from $0$, subject to an ever-stronger push toward $0$ near that point. In particular $\{0\}$ is not a polar set with respect to $X$. The diffusion $X$ is rotation invariant, and admits a skew-product representation before hitting $\{0\}$: its radial part is a diffusion on $(0,\infty)$ and its angular part is a time-changed Brownian motion on the sphere $S^2$. The radial part of $X$ is a ``reflected'' extension of the radial part of $X^0$ (the part process of $X$ before hitting $\{0\}$). Moreover, $X$ is the unique reflecting extension of $X^0$, but $X$ is not a semi-martingale. This is a joint work with Professor Patrick J. Fitzsimmons.
