We prove that the norm of a $d$-dimensional L\'evy process possesses a finite second moment if and only if the convex distance between an appropriately rescaled process at time $t$ and a standard Gaussian vector is integrable in time with…

For spectrally negative L\'evy processes, we prove several fluctuation results involving a general draw-down time, which is a downward exit time from a dynamic level that depends on the running maximum of the process. In particular, we find…

Suppose $\sigma$ is the shift acting on Bernoulli space $X=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$, and, consider a fixed function $f:X \to \mathbb{R}$, under the Waters's conditions (defined in a paper in ETDS 2007). For each real value $t\geq 0$ we consider…

For any two-sided jumping $\alpha$-stable process, where $1 < \alpha < 2$, we find an explicit identity for the law of the first hitting time of the origin. This complements existing work in the symmetric case and the spectrally one-sided…

Lewis and Mordecki have computed the Wiener-Hopf factorization of a L\'evy process whose restriction on $]0,+\infty[$ of their L\'evy measure has a rational Laplace transform. That allows to compute the distribution of $(X_t,\inf_{0\leq…

We investigate the characterization of generators $\mathcal{L}$ of L\'evy processes satisfying the Liouville theorem: Bounded functions $u$ solving $\mathcal{L}[u]=0$ are constant. These operators are degenerate elliptic of the form…

Last passage times arise in a number of areas of applied probability, including risk theory and degradation models. Such times are obviously not stopping times since they depend on the whole path of the underlying process. We consider the…

Let $J(\cdot)$ be a compound Poisson process with rate $\lambda>0$ and a jumps distribution $G(\cdot)$ concentrated on $(0,\infty)$. In addition, let $V$ be a random variable which is distributed according to $G(\cdot)$ and independent from…

Getoor's conjecture that essentially all Levy processes satisfy (H) is a long-standing open problem in potential theory. In the beginning of the paper, we summarize the main results obtained so far for the problem. Then, we present two new…

Which Levy processes satisfy Hunt's hypothesis (H) is a long-standing open problem in probabilistic potential theory. The study of this problem for one-dimensional Levy processes suggests us to consider (H) from the point of view of the sum…

We consider a Levy flyer of order alpha that starts from a point x0 on an interval [O,L] with absorbing boundaries. We find a closed-form expression for the average number of flights the flyer takes and the total length of the flights it…

We show that if a L\'evy process creeps then, as a function of $u$, the renewal function $V(t,u)$ of the bivariate ascending ladder process $(L^{-1},H)$ is absolutely continuous on $[0,\infty)$ and left differentiable on $(0,\infty)$, and…

We consider a queuing model with the workload evolving between consecutive i.i.d.\ exponential timers $\{e_q^{(i)}\}_{i=1,2,...}$ according to a spectrally positive L\'evy process $Y_i(t)$ that is reflected at zero, and where the…

We study the distribution of the exponential functional $I(\xi,\eta)=\int_0^{\infty} \exp(\xi_{t-}) \d \eta_t$, where $\xi$ and $\eta$ are independent L\'evy processes. In the general setting using the theories of Markov processes and…

Consistent initialization of the Laplace transform has been a fundamental and long-standing issue. The consistency of the L- approach has been questioned, yet it is a popular approach since the L+ approach requires a priori computation of…

Given a nonincreasing null sequence $T = (T_j)_{j \ge 1}$ of nonnegative random variables satisfying some classical integrability assumptions and $\mathbb{E}(\sum_{j}T_{j}^{\alpha})=1$ for some $\alpha>0$, we characterize the solutions of…

We consider the conventional Laplace transform of $f(x)$, denoted by $\mathcal{L}[f(x); p]~\equiv~F(p)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-p x} f(x) dx$ with ${\rm \mathfrak{Re}}(p) > 0$. For $0 < \alpha < 1$ we furnish the closed form expressions for…

We consider a process $(X_t)_{t\in[0,T)}$ given by the SDE $dX_t = \alpha b(t)X_t dt + \sigma(t) dB_t$, $t\in[0,T)$, with initial condition $X_0=0$, where $T\in(0,\infty]$, $\alpha\in R$, $(B_t)_{t\in[0,T)}$ is a standard Wiener process,…

We show that the SDE $dX_t = \sigma(X_{t-}) \, dL_t$, $X_0 \sim \mu$ driven by a one-dimensional symnmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process $(L_t)_{t \geq 0}$, $\alpha \in (0,2]$, has a unique weak solution for any continuous function…

We study regularity criteria for the $d$-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We prove in this paper that if $u\in L_\infty^tL_{d}^x((0,T)\times {\mathbb R}^d)$ is a Leray-Hopf weak solution, then $u$ is smooth and unique in…
