We compare two definitions of multistable L\'evy motions. Such processes are extensions of classical L\'evy motion where the stability index is allowed to vary in time. We show that the two multistable L\'evy motions have distinct…

We study a particular class of moving average processes which possess a property called localisability. This means that, at any given point, they admit a ``tangent process'', in a suitable sense. We give general conditions on the kernel g…

Conditioning stable L\'evy processes on zero probability events recently became a tractable subject since several explicit formulas emerged from a deep analysis using the Lamperti transformations for self-similar Markov processes. In this…

Understanding which physical processes are symmetric with respect to time inversion is a ubiquitous problem in physics. In quantum physics, effective gauge fields allow emulation of matter under strong magnetic fields, realizing the…

We study the exit time $\tau=\tau_{(0,\infty)}$ for 1-dimensional strictly stable processes and express its Laplace transform at $t^\alpha$ as the Laplace transform of a positive random variable with explicit density. Consequently, $\tau$…

We offer a new proof of the classical law of large numbers for a general class of branching Markov processes based on the asymptotic behaviour of the moments developed in \cite{bmoments, gonzalez2022erratum}. Moreover, we show that the law…

We give new proofs of certain equivalent conditions for the existence of generalized moments of a L\'evy process $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$; in particular, the existence of a generalized $g$-moment is equivalent to the uniform integrability of…

We consider a particle system with weights and the scaling limits derived from its occupation time. We let the particles perform independent recurrent L\'evy motions and we assume that their initial positions and weights are given by a…

Given an ergodic dynamical system $(X,T,\mu)$, and $U\subset X$ measurable with $\mu (U)>0$, let $\mu (U)\tau_U(x)$ denote the normalized hitting time of $x\in X$ to $U$. We prove that given a sequence $(U_n)$ with $\mu (U_n)\to 0$, the…
