We study a Langevin equation for a particle moving in a periodic potential in the presence of viscosity $\gamma$ and subject to a further external field $\alpha$. For a suitable choice of the parameters $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ the related…

In contrast to their seemingly simple and shared structure of independence and stationarity, L\'evy processes exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, from the self-similar Wiener process to piecewise-constant compound Poisson processes.…
