In this article, we introduce an infinite-dimensional analogue of the $\alpha$-stable L\'evy motion, defined as a L\'evy process $Z=\{Z(t)\}_{t \geq 0}$ with values in the space $\mathbb{D}$ of c\`adl\`ag functions on $[0,1]$, equipped with…

This paper presents a derivation of the explicit price for the perpetual American put option time-capped by the first drawdown epoch beyond a predefined level. We consider the market in which an asset price is described by geometric L\'evy…

We provide integral formulae for the Laplace transform of the entrance law of the reflected excursions for symmetric L\'evy processes in terms of their characteristic exponent. For subordinate Brownian motions and stable processes we…

Semi-Levy process is an additive process with periodically stationary increments. In particular, it is a generalization of Levy process. The dichotomy of recurrence and transience of Levy processes is well known, but this is not necessarily…

We consider a spectrally positive L\'evy process $X$ that does not drift to $+\infty$, viewed as coding for the genealogical structure of a (sub)critical branching process, in the sense of a contour or exploration process…

Consider a stable L\'evy process $X=(X_t,t\geq 0)$ and let $T_x$, for $x>0$, denote the first passage time of $X$ above the level $x$. In this work, we give an alternative proof of the absolute continuity of the law of $T_x$ and we obtain a…

We consider a branching Markov process in continuous time in which the particles evolve independently as spectrally negative L\'evy processes. When the branching mechanism is critical or subcritical, the process will eventually die and we…

For a spectrally negative L\'evy process (snLp) $X$, killed according to a rate that is a function $\omega$ of its position, we analyse the exit probability of the one-sided upwards-passage problem. When $\omega$ is strictly positive, this…

In this article we get simple explicit formulas for $\Exp\sup_{s\leq t}X(s)$ where $X$ is a spectrally positive or negative L\'evy process with infinite variation. As a consequence we derive a generalization of the well-known formula for…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the tail of the distribution of the first passage time of a L\'evy process over a one-sided moving boundary. Our main result states that if the boundary behaves as $t^{\gamma}$ for large $t$ for some…

In this article we derive formula for probability $\Prob(\sup_{t\leq T} (X(t)-ct)>u)$ where $X=\{X(t)\}$ is a spectrally positive L\'evy process and $c\in\RL$. As an example we investigate the inverse Gaussian L\'evy process.

We study the distribution and various properties of exponential functionals of hypergeometric Levy processes. We derive an explicit formula for the Mellin transform of the exponential functional and give both convergent and asymptotic…

In the present work, we consider spectrally positive L\'evy processes $(X_t,t\geq0)$ not drifting to $+\infty$ and we are interested in conditioning these processes to reach arbitrarily large heights (in the sense of the height process…

This note provides a factorization of a L\'evy pocess over a phase-type horizon $\tau$ given the phase at the supremum, thereby extending the Wiener-Hopf factorization for $\tau$ exponential. One of the factors is defined using time…

We study the small deviation problem $\log\mathbb{P}(\sup_{t\in[0,1]}|X_t|\leq\varepsilon)$, as $\varepsilon\to0$, for general L\'{e}vy processes $X$. The techniques enable us to determine the asymptotic rate for general real-valued…

We recall four open problems concerning constructing high-order matrix-exponential approximations for the infimum of a spectrally negative Levy process (with applications to first-passage/ruin probabilities, the waiting time distribution in…

For a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ we establish conditions under which the inverse first-passage time problem has a solution for any random variable $\xi >0$. For Markov processes we give additional conditions under which the…

The one dimensional distribution of a L\'{e}vy process is not known in general even though its characteristic function is given by the famous L\'{e}vy-Khinchine theorem. This article gives an exact series representation for the one…

For a broad class of planar Markov processes, viz. L\'evy processes satisfying certain conditions (valid \textit{eg} in the case of Brownian motion and L\'evy flights), we establish an exact, universal formula describing the shape of the…

We develop at-the-money call-price and implied volatility asymptotic expansions in time to maturity for a class of asset-price models whose log returns follow a L\'evy process. Under mild assumptions placing the driving L\'evy process in…
