Abstract

Two transformations A1\mathcal{A}_{1} and A2\mathcal{A}_{2} of L\'{e}vy measures on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} based on the arcsine density are studied and their relation to general Upsilon transformations is considered. The domains of definition of A1\mathcal{A}_{1} and A2\mathcal{A}_{2} are determined and it is shown that they have the same range. Infinitely divisible distributions on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} with L\'{e}vy measures being in the common range are called type AA distributions and expressed as the law of a stochastic integral 01cos(21πt)dXt\int_0^1\cos (2^{-1}\pi t)dX_t with respect to L\'{e}vy process {Xt}\{X_t\}. \ This new class includes as a proper subclass the Jurek class of distributions. It is shown that generalized type GG distributions are the image of type AA distributions under a mapping defined by an appropriate stochastic integral. A2\mathcal{A}_{2} is identified as an Upsilon transformation, while A1\mathcal{A}_{1} is shown to be not.
