Let X and Y be time-homogeneous Markov processes with common state space E, and assume that the transition kernels of X and Y admit densities with respect to suitable reference measures. We show that if there is a time t>0 such that, for…

This article focuses on properties of monotone convolutions. A criterion for infinite divisibility and time evolution of convolution semigroups are mainly studied. In particular, we clarify that many analogues of the classical results of…

In this work, we introduce a theory of stochastic integration with respect to symmetric $\alpha$-stable cylindrical L\'evy processes. Since $\alpha$-stable cylindrical L\'evy processes do not enjoy a semi-martingale decomposition, our…

It is shown that many of the classical generalized isoperimetric inequalities for the Laplacian when viewed in terms of Brownian motion extend to a wide class of Levy processes. The results are derived from the multiple integral…

Given $n$ equidistant realisations of a L\'evy process $(L_t,\,t\ge 0)$, a natural estimator $\hat N_n$ for the distribution function $N$ of the L\'evy measure is constructed. Under a polynomial decay restriction on the characteristic…

A semi-process is an analog of the semi-flow for non-autonomous differential equations or inclusions. We prove an abstract result on the existence of measurable semi-processes in the situations where there is no uniqueness. Also, we allow…

We examine three equivalent constructions of a censored symmetric purely discontinuous L\'evy process on an open set $D$; via the corresponding Dirichlet form, through the Feynman-Kac transform of the L\'evy process killed outside of $D$…

We study the freely infinitely divisible distributions that appear as the laws of free subordinators. This is the free analog of classically infinitely divisible distributions supported on [0,\infty), called the free regular measures. We…

When is it possible to interpret a given Markov process as a L\'evy-like process? Since the class of L\'evy processes can be defined by the relation between transition probabilities and convolutions, the answer to this question lies in the…

Conditioning Markov processes to avoid a set is a classical problem that has been studied in many settings. In the present article we study the question if a Levy process can be conditioned to avoid an interval and, if so, the path behavior…

Ba\~nuelos and Bogdan (2004) and Bogdan, Palmowski and Wang (2016) analyse the asymptotic tail distribution of the first time a stable (L\'evy) process in dimension $d\geq 2$ exists a cone. We use these results to develop the notion of a…

It is common practice to treat small jumps of L\'evy processes as Wiener noise and thus to approximate its marginals by a Gaussian distribution. However, results that allow to quantify the goodness of this approximation according to a given…

In this paper we consider weak Harnack inequality and H\"older regularity estimates for symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$, $d\geq 2$. We consider a symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process $X$…

We prove a new rearrangement inequality for multiple integrals, which partly generalizes a result of Friedberg and Luttinger (1976) and can be interpreted as involving symmetric rearrangements of domains around infinity. As applications, we…

The distributional support of the sample paths of L\'evy processes is an important issue for the construction of sparse statistical models, theories of integration in infinite dimensions and the existence of generalized solutions of…

In this paper, we study the cut-off phenomenon under the total variation distance of $d$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes which are driven by L\'evy processes. That is to say, under the total variation distance, there is an abrupt…

We show on- and off-diagonal upper estimates for the transition densities of symmetric Levy and Levy-type processes. To get the an-diagonal estimates we prove a Nash type inequality for the related Dirichlet form. For the off-diagonal…

For a recurrent linear diffusion on $\R_+$ we study the asymptotics of the distribution of its local time at 0 as the time parameter tends to infinity. Under the assumption that the L\'evy measure of the inverse local time is subexponential…

We completely describe the size and large intersection properties of the Holder singularity sets of Levy processes. We also study the set of times at which a given function cannot be a modulus of continuity of a Levy process. The Holder…

We study the motion of a particle embedded in a time independent periodic potential with broken mirror symmetry and subjected to a L\'evy noise possessing L\'evy stable probability law (L\'evy ratchet). We develop analytical approach to the…
