We identify a necessary and sufficient condition for a L\'evy white noise to be a tempered distribution. More precisely, we show that if the L\'evy measure associated with this noise has a positive absolute moment, then the L\'evy white…

We obtain general lower estimates of transition densities of jump L\'evy processes. We use them for processes with L\'evy measures having bounded support, processes with exponentially decaying L\'evy measures for large times and for…

The L\'evy walk, a type of random walk characterized by linear step lengths that follow a power-law distribution, is observed in the migratory behaviors of various organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Notably, L\'evy walks with power…

In this paper we are looking for quantitative estimates for the convergene to equilibrium of non reversible Markov processes, especialy in short times. The models studied are simple enough to get an explicit expression of the L2 distance…

L\'evy flights for light have been demonstrated in disordered systems with and without optical gain, and remained unobserved in ordered ones. In the present letter, we investigate, numerically and experimentally, L\'evy flights for light in…

A short proof is given of a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalized occupation measure of a L\'evy process in a metrizable compact group to be asymptotically uniform with probability one.

We develop an excursion theory for Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, which in many respects is analogous to the classical It\^o theory for linear Brownian motion. Each excursion is associated with a connected component of the…

A necessary and sufficient condition for a L\'evy process $X$ to stay positive, in probability, near 0, which arises in studies of Chung-type laws for $X$ near 0, is given in terms of the characteristics of $X$.

The distribution of the first positive position reached by a random walker starting from the origin is fundamental for understanding the statistics of extremes and records in one-dimensional random walks. We present a comprehensive study of…

We consider a discrete-time random walk on a line starting at $x_0\geq 0$ where a cost is incurred at each jump. We obtain an exact analytical formula for the distribution of the total cost of a trajectory until the process crosses the…

Finite excursions away from zero of a spectrally positive compound Poisson process with a negative drift can always be decomposed into two parts lying above and below zero, respectively. This paper is concerned with the asymptotic…

We consider exit problems for general L\'evy processes, where the first passage over a threshold is detected either immediately or at an epoch of an independent homogeneous Poisson process. It is shown that the two corresponding one-sided…
