Which Levy processes satisfy Hunt's hypothesis (H) is a long-standing open problem in probabilistic potential theory. The study of this problem for one-dimensional Levy processes suggests us to consider (H) from the point of view of the sum…

In this paper, Hunt's hypothesis (H) and Getoor's conjecture for L\'{e}vy processes are revisited. Let $X$ be a L\'{e}vy process on $\mathbf{R}^n$ with L\'{e}vy-Khintchine exponent $(a,A,\mu)$. {First, we show that if $A$ is non-degenerate…

In this paper, we present new results on Hunt's hypothesis (H) for L\'{e}vy processes. We start with a comparison result on L\'{e}vy processes which implies that big jumps have no effect on the validity of (H). Based on this result and the…

Hunt's hypothesis (H) and the related Getoor's conjecture is one of the most important problems in the basic theory of Markov processes. In this paper, we investigate the invariance of Hunt's hypothesis (H) for Markov processes under two…

The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we survey the existing results on Hunt's hypothesis (H) for Markov processes and Getoor's conjecture for L\'{e}vy processes. Second, we investigate (H) for multidimensional L\'{e}vy processes from…

We prove a new theorem on additive Levy processes and show that this theorem implies several proved theorems and a hard conjectured theorem.

It is proved that the two-sided exits of a Levy process are proper, i.e. not a.s. equal to their one-sided counterparts, if and only if said process is not a subordinator or the negative of a subordinator. Furthermore, Levy processes 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…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the coupling for L\'evy processes (with non-degenerate jump part) is successful. Our method relies on explicit formulae for the transition semigroup of a compound Poisson process…

In this note we generalise the Phillips theorem on the subordination of Feller processes by Levy subordinators to the class of additive subordinators (i.e. subordinators with independent but possibly nonstationary increments). In the case…

We use the recently-developed multiparameter theory of additive Levy processes to establish novel connections between an arbitrary Levy process $X$ in $\mathbf{R}^d$, and a new class of energy forms and their corresponding capacities. We…

The running infimum of a Levy process relative to its point of issue is know to have the same range that of the negative of a certain subordinator. Conditioning a Levy process issued from a strictly positive value to stay positive may…

We extend the idea of tempering stable Levy processes to tempering more general classes of Levy processes. We show that the original process can be decomposed into the sum of the tempered process and an independent point process of large…

We consider a pair of coupled queues driven by independent spectrally-positive Levy processes. With respect to the bi-variate workload process this framework includes both the coupled processor model and the two-server fluid network with…

In this paper, we study the L\'evy process time-changed by independent L\'evy subordinators, namely, the incomplete gamma subordinator, the $\epsilon$-jumps incomplete gamma subordinator and tempered incomplete gamma subordinator. We derive…

Consider the strong subordination of a multivariate L\'evy process with a multivariate subordinator. If the subordinate is a stack of independent L\'evy processes and the components of the subordinator are indistinguishable within each…

We construct the law of L\'{e}vy processes conditioned to stay positive under general hypotheses. We obtain a Williams type path decomposition at the minimum of these processes. This result is then applied to prove the weak convergence of…

In this paper we deal with the problem of characterizing those generalized Mehler semigroups that do correspond to c\`adl\`ag Markov processes, which is highly non-trivial and has remained open for more than a decade. Our approach is to…

The classical notion of L\'evy process is generalized to one that takes as its values probabilities on a first order model equipped with a commutative semigroup. This is achieved by applying a convolution product on definable probabilities…

Using the Wiener-Hopf factorization, it is shown that it is possible to bound the path of an arbitrary Levy process above and below by the paths of two random walks. These walks have the same step distribution, but different random starting…
