Spectral theory for symmetric one - dimensional Lévy processes killed upon hitting the origin ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Spectral theory for transition operators of one-dimensional symmetric Lévy process killed upon hitting the origin is studied. Under very mild assumptions, an integraltype formula for eigenfunctions is obtained, and eigenfunction expansion of transition operators and the generator is proved. As an application, and the primary motivation, integral fomulae for the transition density and the distribution of the hitting time of the origin are given in terms of the eigenfunctions.

On the laws of first hitting times of points for one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes
Several aspects of the laws of first hitting times of points are investigated for one-dimensional symmetric stable Lévy processes. Itô’s excursion theory plays a key role in this study.
متن کاملHitting Distributions of Α-stable Processes via Path Censoring and Self-similarity By
We consider two first passage problems for stable processes, not necessarily symmetric, in one dimension. We make use of a novel method of path censoring in order to deduce explicit formulas for hitting probabilities, hitting distributions and a killed potential measure. To do this, we describe in full detail the Wiener–Hopf factorization of a new Lamperti-stable-type Lévy process obtained via ...
متن کاملS ep 2 00 9 Excursions away from a regular point for one - dimensional symmetric Lévy processes without Gaussian part ∗
The characteristic measure of excursions away from a regular point is studied for a class of symmetric Lévy processes without Gaussian part. It is proved that the harmonic transform of the killed process enjoys Feller property. The result is applied to prove extremeness of the excursion measure and to prove several sample path behaviors of the excursion and the h-path processes.
متن کاملDirichlet Heat Kernel Estimates for Rotationally Symmetric Lévy processes
In this paper, we consider a large class of purely discontinuous rotationally symmetric Lévy processes. We establish sharp two-sided estimates for the transition densities of such processes killed upon leaving an open set D. When D is a κ-fat open set, the sharp two-sided estimates are given in terms of surviving probabilities and the global transition density of the Lévy process. When D is a C...
