We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the Liouville and strong Liouville properties of the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy process and subordinate L\'evy processes. Combining our criterion with the necessary and sufficient…
Coupling by reflection mixed with synchronous coupling is constructed for a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by L\'{e}vy noises. As an application, we establish the exponential contractivity of the associated…
This paper studies the invertibility property of continuous time moving average processes driven by a L\'evy process. We provide of sufficient conditions for the recovery of the driving noise. Our assumptions are specified via the kernel…
The master equation for a probability density function (pdf) driven by L\'{e}vy noise, if conditioned to conform with the principle of detailed balance, admits a transformation to a contractive strongly continuous semigroup dynamics. Given…
We study the $L^1$-smoothing properties for a broad class of semigroups arising from the ground state transformation of Schr\"odinger semigroups with confining potentials associated with non-local L\'evy operators, for which (asymptotic)…
The classical notion of L\'evy process is generalized to one that takes as its values probabilities on a first order model equipped with a commutative semigroup. This is achieved by applying a convolution product on definable probabilities…
This article establishes a universal robust limit theorem under a sublinear expectation framework. Under moment and consistency conditions, we show that, for $\alpha \in(1,2)$, the i.i.d. sequence \[ \left \{ \left(…
For a broad class of the Levy processes the new form (convolution type) of the infinitesimal generators is introduced. It leads to the new notions: a truncated generator, a quasi-potential. The probability of the Levy process remaining…
Liv\v{s}ic theorem for flows asserts that a Lipschitz observable that has zero mean average along every periodic orbit is necessarily a coboundary, that is the Lie derivative of a Lipschitz function smooth along the flow direction. The…
We construct superharmonic functions and give sharp bounds for the expected exit time and probability of survival for isotropic unimodal L\'evy processes
In a separable Hilbert space, we study supercontractivity and ultracontractivity properties for a transition semigroups associated with a stochastic partial differential equations. This is done in terms of exponential integrability of…
We study the almost sure behaviour of suitably normalised multivariate Levy processes as t goes to zero. Among other results we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a law of a very slowly varying function which includes a general…
We derive sharp, local and dimension dependent hypercontractive bounds on the Markov kernel of a large class of diffusion semigroups. Unlike the dimension free ones, they capture refined properties of Markov kernels, such as trace…
We will prove that: (1) A symmetric free L\'evy process is unimodal if and only if its free L\'evy measure is unimodal; (2) Every free L\'evy process with boundedly supported L\'evy measure is unimodal in sufficiently large time. (2) is…
For any $1 < p < q < \infty$, we investigate fixed-time hypercontractive bounds from $L^p$ to $L^q$ of Poisson semigroups associated with the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck, Laguerre and Jacobi operators. We prove that, in the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck and…
Conditioning Markov processes to avoid a set is a classical problem that has been studied in many settings. In the present article we study the question if a Levy process can be conditioned to avoid an interval and, if so, the path behavior…
We develop the notions of hypercontractivity (HC) and the log-Sobolev (LS) inequality for completely bounded norms of one-parameter semigroups of super-operators acting on matrix algebras. We prove the equivalence of the completely bounded…
A L\'evy process is said to creep through a curve if, at its first passage time across this curve, the process reaches it with positive probability. We first study this property for bivariate subordinators. Given the graph…
We study the Feynman-Kac semigroup generated by the Schr{\"o}dinger operator based on the fractional Laplacian $-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} - q$ in $\Rd$, for $q \ge 0$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$. We obtain sharp estimates of the first eigenfunction…
We analyze two different confining mechanisms for L\'{e}vy flights in the presence of external potentials. One of them is due to a conservative force in the corresponding Langevin equation. Another is implemented by Levy-Schroedinger…
