We characterise, in terms of their transition laws, the class of one-dimensional L\'evy processes whose graph has a continuously differentiable (planar) convex hull. We show that this phenomenon is exhibited by a broad class of infinite…

We characterise the H\"older continuity of the convex minorant of most L\'evy processes. The proof is based on a novel connection between the path properties of the L\'evy process at zero and the boundedness of the set of $r$-slopes of the…

We establish distributional limit theorems for the shape statistics of a concave majorant (i.e. the fluctuations of its length, its supremum, the time it is attained and its value at $T$) of any L\'evy process on $[0,T]$ as $T\to\infty$.…

This article provides an overview of recent work on descriptions and properties of the convex minorant of random walks and L\'evy processes which summarize and extend the literature on these subjects. The results surveyed include point…

We establish a novel characterisation of the law of the convex minorant of any L\'evy process. Our self-contained elementary proof is based on the analysis of piecewise linear convex functions and requires only very basic properties of…

We offer a unified approach to the theory of convex minorants of L\'{e}vy processes with continuous distributions. New results include simple explicit constructions of the convex minorant of a L\'{e}vy process on both finite and infinite…

We consider convex hulls of random walks whose steps belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove convergence of the convex hull in the space of all convex and compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$, equipped…

We study whether a multivariate L\'evy-driven moving average process can shadow arbitrarily closely any continuous path, starting from the present value of the process, with positive conditional probability, which we call the conditional…

For a broad class of planar Markov processes, viz. L\'evy processes satisfying certain conditions (valid \textit{eg} in the case of Brownian motion and L\'evy flights), we establish an exact, universal formula describing the shape of the…

The first passage time process of a L\'evy subordinator with heavy-tailed L\'evy measure has long-range dependent paths. The random fluctuations that appear under two natural schemes of summation and time scaling of such stochastic…

Let $X(t)$, $t\geq0$, be a L\'evy process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ starting at the origin. We study the closed convex hull $Z_s$ of $\{X(t): 0\leq t\leq s\}$. In particular, we provide conditions for the integrability of the intrinsic volumes of…

It is well known that for a standard Brownian motion (BM) $ \{B(t), \;t \geq 0\}$ with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$, its convex hull $ V(t)=\conv \{\{\,B(s),\;s \leq t \}$ with probability $1$ for each $t > 0$ contains $0$ as an interior point…

In this paper we first provide several conditional limit theorems for L\'evy processes with negative drift and regularly varying tail. Then we apply them to study the asymptotic behavior of expectations of some exponential functionals of…

We consider the passage time problem for L\'evy processes, emphasising heavy tailed cases. Results are obtained under quite mild assumptions, namely, drift to $-\infty$ a.s. of the process, possibly at a linear rate (the finite mean case),…

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…

The growth-fragmentation equation models systems of particles that grow and split as time proceeds. An important question concerns the large time asymptotic of its solutions. Doumic and Escobedo ($2016$) observed that when growth is a…

We establish two results about local times of spectrally positive stable processes. The first is a general approximation result, uniform in space and on compact time intervals, in a model where each jump of the stable process may be marked…

This paper is concerned with the behaviour of a L\'{e}vy process when it crosses over a positive level, $u$, starting from 0, both as $u$ becomes large and as $u$ becomes small. Our main focus is on the time, $\tau_u$, it takes the process…

We consider Malliavin smoothness of random variables $f(X_1)$, where $X$ is a pure jump L\'evy process and $f$ is either bounded and H\"older continuous or of bounded variation. We show that Malliavin differentiability and fractional…

We investigate the (functional) convex order of for various continuous martingale processes, either with respect to their diffusions coefficients for L\'evy-driven SDEs or their integrands for stochastic integrals. Main results are bordered…
