On tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric $\alpha$-stable distributions

Probability 2020-11-30 v3

Abstract

We estimate up to universal constants tails of symmetric and totally asymmetric 1-dimensional α\alpha-stable distributions in terms of functions of the parameters of these distributions. In particular, for values of α\alpha close to 22 we specify where exactly the tail changes from being Gaussian and starts to behave like in the Pareto distribution
