This paper provides a multivariate extension of Bertoin's pathwise construction of a L\'evy process conditioned to stay positive/negative. Thus obtained processes conditioned to stay in half-spaces are closely related to the original…

Suppose that $\mathsf{S}$ is a closed set of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1} = \{x\in \mathbb{R}^d: |x| =1\}$ in dimension $d\geq2$, which has positive surface measure. We construct the law of absorption of an isotropic stable L\'evy…

We develop two novel couplings between general pure-jump L\'evy processes in $\R^d$ and apply them to obtain upper bounds on the rate of convergence in an appropriate Wasserstein distance on the path space for a wide class of L\'evy…

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 $X$.

First, we present some results about the H\"older continuity of the sample paths of so called dilatively stable processes which are certain infinitely divisible processes having a more general scaling property than self-similarity. As a…

An absolutely convergent double series representation for the density of the supremum of $\alpha$-stable Levy process is given in [3, Theorem 2] for almost all irrational $\alpha$. This result cannot be made stronger in the following sense:…

Consider a symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process with $\alpha\in (1,2)$. We study shifted small ball probabilities for these processes in the uniform topology, when the shift function is an arbitrary continuous function which starts at…

A refracted L\'evy process is a L\'evy process whose dynamics change by subtracting off a fixed linear drift (of suitable size) whenever the aggregate process is above a pre-specified level. More precisely, whenever it exists, a refracted…

A L\'evy processes resurrected in the positive half-line is a Markov process obtained by removing successively all jumps that make it negative. A natural question, given this construction, is whether the resulting process is absorbed at 0…
