We present an explicit solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. Given a process $X$ and a target measure $\mu$ satisfying an explicit admissibility condition we define functions $\f_\pm$ such…

For a one-dimensional super-Brownian motion with density $X(t,x)$, we construct a random measure $L_t$ called the boundary local time which is supported on $\partial \{x:X(t,x) = 0\} =: BZ_t$, thus confirming a conjecture of Mueller, Mytnik…

Let $X=\{X_{t},t\in R_{+}\}$ be a symmetric L\'{e}vy process with local time $\{L^{x}_{t} ; (x,t)\in R^{1}\times R^{1}_{+}\}$. When the L\'{e}vy exponent $\psi(\la)$ is regularly varying at zero with index $1<\beta\leq 2$, and satisfies…

We investigate the branching structure coded by the excursion above zero of a spectrally positive Levy process. The main idea is to identify the level of the Levy excursion as the time and count the number of jumps upcrossing the level. By…

We investigate the local times of a continuous-time Markov chain on an arbitrary discrete state space. For fixed finite range of the Markov chain, we derive an explicit formula for the joint density of all local times on the range, at any…

We prove functional limits theorems for the occupation time process of a system of particles moving independently in $R^d$ according to a symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process, and starting off from an inhomogeneous Poisson point measure…

In this paper, we study a transient spatially inhomogeneous random walk with asymptotically zero drifts on the lattice of the positive half line. We give criteria for the finiteness of the number of points having exactly the same local time…

In this paper, we identify Laplace transforms of occupation times of intervals until first passage times for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. New analytical identities for scale functions are derived and therefore the results are…

Markovian diffusion processes yield a system of conservation laws which couple various conditional expectation values (local moments). Solutions of that closed system of deterministic partial differential equations stand for a regular…

This paper studies Brownian motion subject to the occurrence of a minimal length excursion below a given excursion level. The law of this process is determined. The characterization is explicit and shows by a layer construction how the law…

We consider the motion of an overdamped particle in a periodic potential lacking spatial symmetry under the influence of symmetric L\'evy noise, being a minimal setup for a ``L\'evy ratchet.'' Due to the non-thermal character of the L\'evy…

We study a combination of the refracted and reflected L\'evy processes. Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process and two boundaries, it is reflected at the lower boundary while, whenever it is above the upper boundary, a linear drift at a…

We consider empirical processes associated with high-frequency observations of a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) $X$ with Hurst parameter $H\in (0,1)$, and derive conditions under which these processes verify a (possibly uniform) law of…

In this paper we analyse time change equations (TCEs) for L\'evy-type processes in detail. To this end we establish a connection between TCEs and classical one-dimensional initial value problems (IVPs) which are easier to handle. Properties…

We investigate the random continuous trees called L\'evy trees, which are obtained as scaling limits of discrete Galton-Watson trees. We give a mathematically precise definition of these random trees as random variables taking values in the…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two independent random walks on $\Z^2$ with zero mean and finite variances, and let $L_t(X,Y)$ be the local time of $X-Y$ at the origin at time $t$. We show that almost surely with respect to $Y$, $L_t(X,Y)/\log t$…

We consider the problem of finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^1$-distance to $\theta$, the time at which a L\'evy process attains its ultimate supremum. This problem was studied in [12] for a Brownian motion with drift and a…

Let X_t be a subordinate Brownian motion, and suppose that the Levy measure of the underlying subordinator has completely monotone density. Under very mild conditions, we find integral formulae for the tail distribution P(\tau_x > t) of…

We study the motion of a particle embedded in a time independent periodic potential with broken mirror symmetry and subjected to a L\'evy noise possessing L\'evy stable probability law (L\'evy ratchet). We develop analytical approach to the…

What time does a clock tell after quantum tunneling? Predictions and indirect measurements range from superluminal or instantaneous tunneling to finite durations, depending on the specific experiment and the precise definition of the…
