Abstract

Let be (Xt,t0)(X_t, t\geq 0) be a L\'evy process which is the sum of a Brownian motion with drift and a compound Poisson process. We consider the first passage time τx\tau_x at a fixed level x>0x>0 by (Xt,t0)(X_t, t\geq 0) and Kx:=XτxxK_x:= X_{\tau_x}-x the overshoot and Lx:=xXτxL_x:= x-X_{\tau_x^-} the undershoot. We first study the regularity of the density of the first passage time. Secondly, we calculate the joint law of (τx,Kx,Lx).(\tau_x, K_x, L_x).
