The range of a self-similar additive gamma process is a scale invariant Poisson point process

Abstract

It is shown that for a non-decreasing self-similar stochastic process TT with independent increments, the range of TT forms a Poisson point process with σ\sigma-finite intensity if and only if the one-dimensional distribution of T(1)T(1) is of the gamma type. This follows from a general hold-jump description of such processes TT, and implies the known result that the spacings between consecutive points of a scale invariant Poisson point process, with intensity θx1dx\theta x^{-1} dx, are the points of another scale invariant Poisson point process with the same intensity.
