Many results in stochastic analysis and mathematical finance involve local martingales. However, specific examples of strict local martingales are rare and analytically often rather unhandy. We study local martingales that follow a given…

Suppose that $d\geq1$ and $\alpha\in (1, 2)$. Let $Y$ be a rotationally symmetric $\alpha$-stable process on $\R^d$ and $b$ a $\R^d$-valued measurable function on $\R^d$ belonging to a certain Kato class of $Y$. We show that $\rd X^b_t=\rd…

We consider the linear integro-differential operator $L$ defined by \[ Lu(x) =\int_\Rn (u(x+y) - u(x) - 1_{[1,2]}(\alpha) 1_{\{|y|\leq 2\}}(y)y \cdot \nabla u(x)) k(x,y) \sd y . \] Here the kernel $k(x,y)$ behaves like $|y|^{-d-\alpha}$,…

A stable-like process is a Feller process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and whose generator behaves, locally, like an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process, but the index $\alpha$ and all other characteristics may depend on the…
