Convergence to stable limits for ratios of trimmed Levy processes and their jumps

Probability 2018-09-06 v2

Abstract

We derive characteristic function identities for conditional distributions of an r-trimmed Levy process given its r largest jumps up to a designated time t. Assuming the underlying Levy process is in the domain of attraction of a stable process as t goes to 0, these identities are applied to show joint convergence of the trimmed process divided by its large jumps to corresponding quantities constructed from a stable limiting process. This generalises related results in the 1-dimensional subordinator case developed in Kevei & Mason (2014) and produces new discrete distributions on the infinite simplex in the limit.
