On exit time of stable processes

Probability 2011-03-23 v1

Abstract

We study the exit time τ=τ(0,)\tau=\tau_{(0,\infty)} for 1-dimensional strictly stable processes and express its Laplace transform at tαt^\alpha as the Laplace transform of a positive random variable with explicit density. Consequently, τ\tau satisfies some multiplicative convolution relations. For some stable processes, e.g. for the symmetric 23\frac23-stable process, explicit formulas for the Laplace transform and the density of τ\tau are obtained as an application.
