The purpose of this paper is to construct the law of a L\'evy process conditioned to avoid zero, under mild technicals conditions, two of them being that the point zero is regular for itself and the L\'evy process is not a compound Poisson…

Taking account of recent developments in the representation of $d$-dimensional isotropic stable L\'evy processes as self-similar Markov processes, we consider a number of new ways to condition its path. Suppose that $\Omega$ is a region of…

In this paper we establish functional Erd\H{o}s-Renyi laws for L\'evy processes, i.e. limit theorems for sets of functions on [0,1] associated to their increments. First, we determine precise conditions under which, in a general framework,…

We derive explicitly the coupling property for the transition semigroup of a L\'{e}vy process and gradient estimates for the associated semigroup of transition operators. This is based on the asymptotic behaviour of the symbol or the…

Let $X=\{X_n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ be a linear process in which the coefficients are of the form $a_i=i^{-1}\ell(i)$ with $\ell$ being a slowly varying function at the infinity and the innovations are independent and identically distributed…

We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…

We provide an improved version of the Darling-Erd\"os theorem for sums of i.i.d. random variables with mean zero and finite variance. We extend this result to multidimensional random vectors. Our proof is based on a new strong invariance…

We prove the existence of an extremal function in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the energy associated to an stable operator. To this aim we obtain a concentration-compactness principle for stable processes in $\mathbb{R}^N$.

For given two standard processes with no positive jumps, we construct, using the excursion theory, a Markov process whose positive and negative motions have the same law as the two processes. The resulting process is a generalization of…

In this paper we study the domain of stable processes, stable-like processes and more general pseudo- and integro-differential operators which naturally arise both in analysis and as infinitesimal generators of L\'evy- and L\'evy-type…

In [16], under mild conditions, a Wiener-Hopf type factorization is derived for the exponential functional of proper L\'evy processes. In this paper, we extend this factorization by relaxing a finite moment assumption as well as by…

We consider different limit theorems for additive and multiplicative free L\'evy processes. The main results are concerned with positive and unitary multiplicative free L\'evy processes at small time, showing convergence to log free stable…

In this paper we consider the existence of weakly c\`adl\`ag versions of a solution to a linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, driven by a Levy process taking values in a Hilbert space $U$. In particular we are interested in diagonal type…

We establish a uniform Hausdorff dimension result for the inverse image sets of real-valued strictly $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes with $1< \alpha\le 2$. This extends a theorem of Kaufman for Brownian motion. Our method is different from…

Let $M$ and $\tau$ be the supremum and its time of a L\'evy process $X$ on some finite time interval. It is shown that zooming in on $X$ at its supremum, that is, considering $((X_{\tau+t\varepsilon}-M)/a_\varepsilon)_{t\in\mathbb R}$ as…

Infinite horizon optimal stopping problems for a L\'evy processes with a two-sided reward function are considered. A two-sided verification theorem is presented in terms of the overall supremum and the overall infimum of the process. A…

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…

An identity in law for the area of a spectrally positive L\'evy stable process stopped at zero is established. Extending that of Lefebvre for Brownian motion, it involves an inverse Beta random variable and the square of a positive stable…

Let $(\xi,\eta)$ be a bivariate L\'evy process such that the integral $\int\_0^\infty e^{-\xi\_{t-}} d\eta\_t$ converges almost surely. We characterise, in terms of their \LL measures, those L\'evy processes for which (the distribution of)…

We derive a criterium for the almost sure finiteness of perpetual integrals of \LL processes for a class of real functions including all continuous functions and for general one-dimensional L\'evy processes that drifts to plus infinity.…
