In [16], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper L\'evy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by…
Given a sample from a discretely observed L\'evy process $X=(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ of the finite jump activity, the problem of nonparametric estimation of the L\'evy density $\rho$ corresponding to the process $X$ is studied. An estimator of…
In this paper, we develop sample path large deviations for multivariate Hawkes processes with heavy-tailed mutual excitation rates. Our results address a broad class of rare events in Hawkes processes at the sample path level and, via the…
We consider Kallenberg's hypothesis on the characteristic function of a L\'{e}vy process and show that it allows the construction of weakly continuous bridges of the L\'{e}vy process conditioned to stay positive. We therefore provide a…
For a L\'evy process $\xi=(\xi_t)_{t\geq0}$ drifting to $-\infty$, we define the so-called exponential functional as follows \[{\rm{I}}_{\xi}=\int_0^{\infty}e^{\xi_t} dt.\] Under mild conditions on $\xi$, we show that the following…
Consider a sequence (Z_n,Z_n^M) of bivariate L\'evy processes, such that Z_n is a spectrally positive L\'evy process with finite variation, and Z_n^M is the counting process of marks in {0,1} carried by the jumps of Z_n. The study of these…
We establish two equivalent versions of the Darling--Erd\H{o}s theorem for L\'evy processes in the domain of attraction of a stable process at zero with index $\alpha\in(0,2)$. In the course of our proof we obtain a number of maximal and…
We present a new approach to fluctuation identities for reflected L\'{e}vy processes with one-sided jumps. This approach is based on a number of easy to understand observations and does not involve excursion theory or It\^{o} calculus. It…
By using absolutely continuous lower bounds of the L\'evy measure, explicit gradient estimates are derived for the semigroup of the corresponding L\'evy process with a linear drift. A derivative formula is presented for the conditional…
In this paper we develop a quantitative Harris theorem with effective control over the constants. A benefit of our methodology is the decoupling of the small set and Lyapunov-Foster Drift conditions. Our methodology allows any small set and…
We study the small-time asymptotics of sample paths of L\'evy processes and L\'evy-type processes. Namely, we investigate under which conditions the limit $$\limsup_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{f(t)} |X_t-X_0|$$ is finite resp.\ infinite with…
The purpose of this paper is to construct the law of a L\'evy process conditioned to avoid zero, under mild technicals conditions, two of them being that the point zero is regular for itself and the L\'evy process is not a compound Poisson…
A L\'evy process is said to creep through a curve if, at its first passage time across this curve, the process reaches it with positive probability. We first study this property for bivariate subordinators. Given the graph…
The reflected process of a random walk or L\'evy process arises in many areas of applied probability, and a question of particular interest is how the tail of the distribution of the heights of the excursions away from zero behaves…
We show that if a L\'evy process creeps then, as a function of $u$, the renewal function $V(t,u)$ of the bivariate ascending ladder process $(L^{-1},H)$ is absolutely continuous on $[0,\infty)$ and left differentiable on $(0,\infty)$, and…
We present an existence result for L\'evy-type processes which requires only weak regularity assumptions on the symbol $q(x,\xi)$ with respect to the space variable $x$. Applications range from existence and uniqueness results for…
For a refracted spectrally negative Levy process, we find some new and fantastic formulas for its q-potential measures without killing. Unlike previous results, which are written in terms of the known q-scale functions, our formulas are…
We derive characteristic function identities for conditional distributions of an r-trimmed Levy process given its r largest jumps up to a designated time t. Assuming the underlying Levy process is in the domain of attraction of a stable…
Existence of solutions to the Heath-Jarrow-Morton equation of the bond market with linear volatility and general L\'evy random factor is studied. Conditions for existence and non-existence of solutions in the class of bounded fields are…
For given two standard processes with no positive jumps, we construct, using the excursion theory, a Markov process whose positive and negative motions have the same law as the two processes. The resulting process is a generalization of…
