Let $u(s,t)$ be a continuous potential density of a symmetric L\'evy process or diffusion with state space $T$ killed at $T_{0}$, the first hitting time of $0$, or at $\lambda \wedge T_{0}$, where $\lambda$ is an independent exponential…
In this work, we consider moments of exponential functionals of L\'{e}vy processes on a deterministic horizon. We derive two convolutional identities regarding these moments. The first one relates the complex moments of the exponential…
Consider a generalized diffusion on R with speed measure m, in the natural scale. It is known that the conditional hitting times have a unimodal density function. We show that these hitting densities are bell-shaped if and only if m has…

We provide short and simple proofs of the continuous time ballot theorem for processes with cyclically interchangeable increments and Kendall's identity for spectrally positive L\'evy processes. We obtain the later result as a direct…

Zolotarev proved a duality result that relates stable densities with different indices. In this paper, we show how Zolotarev duality leads to some interesting results on fractional diffusion. Fractional diffusion equations employ fractional…
Smoothness and asymptotic behaviors are studied for the densities of the law of the occupation time on the positive line for Bessel bridges and the normalized excursion of strictly stable processes. The key role is played by these…
Almost sixty years ago Zolotarev proved a duality result which relates an $\alpha$-stable density for $\alpha\in(1,2)$ to the density of a $\frac1{\alpha}$-stable distribution on the positive real line. In recent years Zolotarev duality was…
In the boundary driven symmetric simple exclusion process consider an open set $\ms O$ of density profiles which does not contain the stationary density profile. We prove that the first time the empirical measure visits the set $\ms O$…
We are concerned with the first hitting times of the Bessel processes. We give explicit expressions for the densities by means of the zeros of the Bessel functions and show their asymptotic behavior.
We study the first hitting time statistics between a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle and a target site that switches intermittently between visible and invisible phases. The two-state dynamics of the target is independent of the…
Spectral theory for the transition semigroup of one-dimensional symmetric Levy process killed upon hitting the origin is studied. Under very mild assumptions, an integral-type formula for eigenfunctions is obtained, and eigenfunction…
For the supercritical contact process on the hyper-cubic lattice started from a single infection at the origin and conditioned on survival, we establish two uniformity results for the hitting times $t(x)$, defined for each site $x$ as the…
By killing a stable L\'{e}vy process when it leaves the positive half-line, or by conditioning it to stay positive, or by conditioning it to hit 0 continuously, we obtain three different positive self-similar Markov processes which…
Long memory processes driven by L\'evy noise with finite second-order moments have been well studied in the literature. They form a very rich class of processes presenting an autocovariance function which decays like a power function. Here,…

We prove several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (smooth) transition probability densities for L\'evy processes and isotropic L\'evy processes. Under some mild conditions on the characteristic exponent we calculate…
In this paper, we establish the existence of moments and moment estimates for L\'evy-type processes. We discuss whether the existence of moments is a time dependent distributional property, give sufficient conditions for the existence of…
