We consider Markov processes with generator of the form $\gamma \mathcal{L}_{1} + \mathcal{L}_{0}$, in which $\mathcal{L}_{1}$ generates a so-called dominant process that converges at large times towards a random point in a fixed subset…

For a L\'evy process on the real line, we provide complete criteria for the finiteness of exponential moments of the first passage time into the interval $(r,\infty)$, the sojourn time in the interval $(-\infty,r]$, and the last exit time…

In the $d$-dimensional turnstile streaming model, a frequency vector $\mathbf{x}=(\mathbf{x}(1),\ldots,\mathbf{x}(n))\in (\mathbb{R}^d)^n$ is updated entry-wisely over a stream. We consider the problem of $f$-moment estimation, where one…

We show that the hitting times for points of real $\alpha-$stable L\'evy processes ($1<\alpha\le 2$) are unimodal random variables. The argument relies on strong unimodality and several recent multiplicative identities in law. In the…

Suppose that a real valued process X is given as a solution to a stochastic differential equation. Then, for any twice continuously differentiable function f, the backward Kolmogorov equation gives a condition for f(t,X) to be a local…

We show that a necessary and sufficient condition for the sum of iid random vectors to converge (under appropriate shifting and scaling) to a multivariate Gaussian distribution is that the truncated second moment matrix is slowly varying at…

We consider a L\'evy process $Y(t)$ that is not permanently observed, but rather inspected at Poisson($\omega$) moments only, over an exponentially distributed time $T_\beta$ with parameter $\beta$. The focus lies on the analysis of the…

Confidence sequences, anytime p-values (called p-processes in this paper), and e-processes all enable sequential inference for composite and nonparametric classes of distributions at arbitrary stopping times. Examining the literature, one…

We first derive the recurisions for integer moments of two-type continuous-state branching processes in L\'{e}vy random environments. Result shows that the $n$th moment of the process is a polynomial of the initial value of the process with…

We prove several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (smooth) transition probability densities for L\'evy processes and isotropic L\'evy processes. Under some mild conditions on the characteristic exponent we calculate…

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…

In this article we derive formulas for the probability $P(\sup_{t\leq T} X(t)>u)$ $T>0$ and $P(\sup_{t<\infty} X(t)>u)$ where $X$ is a spectrally positive L\'evy process with infinite variation. The formulas are generalizations of the…

We provide a new proof for regularity of affine processes on general state spaces by methods from the theory of Markovian semimartingales. On the way to this result we also show that the definition of an affine process, namely as…

We give an explicit bound for the $L_1$-distance between two additive processes of local characteristics $(f_j(\cdot),\sigma^2(\cdot),\nu_j)$, $j = 1,2$. The cases $\sigma =0$ and $\sigma > 0$ are both treated. We allow $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$…
