Let $X$ be the sum of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H$ and an absolutely continuous and adapted drift process. We establish a simple criterion that guarantees that the law of $X$ is absolutely continuous with respect to…

Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solution of the S.D.E. $$\d X_t = AX_t \d t + \d B_t$$ where $A$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix and $B$ a L\'evy process without Gaussian part. We show that when $A$ is non-singular,…

We consider smoothing equations of the form $$X ~\stackrel{\mathrm{law}}{=}~ \sum_{j \geq 1} T_j X_j + C$$ where $(C,T_1,T_2,\ldots)$ is a given sequence of random variables and $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ are independent copies of $X$ and independent…

We consider a supercritical branching process $Z_n$ in a stationary and ergodic random environment $\xi =(\xi_n)_{n\ge0}$. Due to the martingale convergence theorem, it is known that the normalized population size $W_n=Z_n/ (\mathbb E…

A sufficient condition for the uniform modulus of continuity of a random field $X = \{X(t), t \in \R^N\}$ is provided. The result is applicable to random fields with heavy-tailed distribution such as stable random fields.

A random vector $X$ with representation $X=\sum_{j\geq0}A_jZ_j$ is considered. Here, $(Z_j)$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random vectors and $(A_j)$ is a sequence of random matrices, `predictable' with respect to…

Answering the question of V.I. Oseledets, we present a random variable $\xi$ such that the sum $\xi(x)+a\xi(y)$ has a singular distribution for a set of parameters $a$ dense in $(1, +\infty)$, but for another dense set of parameters, this…

Consider a stable L\'evy process $X=(X_t,t\geq 0)$ and let $T_x$, for $x>0$, denote the first passage time of $X$ above the level $x$. In this work, we give an alternative proof of the absolute continuity of the law of $T_x$ and we obtain a…

Using martingale convergence theorem, we prove a law of large numbers for monotone convolutions $\mu_{1}\triangleright\mu_{2}\triangleright\cdots\triangleright\mu_{n}$, where $\mu_{j}$'s are probability laws on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite…

In this article we provide a proof of the so called absolute continuity theorem for random dynamical systems on $R^d$ which have an invariant probability measure. First we present the construction of local stable manifolds in this case.…

We study a continuous-time financial market with continuous price processes under model uncertainty, modeled via a family $\mathcal{P}$ of possible physical measures. A robust notion ${\rm NA}_{1}(\mathcal{P})$ of no-arbitrage of the first…

Given a sequence $(T_1, T_2, ...)$ of random $d \times d$ matrices with nonnegative entries, suppose there is a random vector $X$ with nonnegative entries, such that $ \sum_{i \ge 1} T_i X_i $ has the same law as $X$, where $(X_1, X_2,…

Let $X$ be a progressively measurable, almost surely right-continuous stochastic process such that $X_\tau \in L^1$ and $E[X_\tau] = E[X_0]$ for each finite stopping time $\tau$. In 2006, Cherny showed that $X$ is then a uniformly…

We prove an invariance principle for the bridge of a random walk conditioned to stay positive, when the random walk is in the domain of attraction of a stable law, both in the discrete and in the absolutely continuous setting. This includes…
