Moments of last exit times for Lévy processes

Abstract: Let L B a be the last exit time from the ball B a = {|x| < a} for a transient Lévy process {X t } on R d. It is proved that, for each η 0, either E[L B a η ] < ∞ for all a > 0 or E[L B a η ] = ∞ for all a > 0. Let T be the set of η 0 having the former property. The size of T gives an order of transience of {X t }. A criterion for η ∈ T is given in terms of the logarithm of the characteristic function of X 1. The set T is determined when d = 1 and E[|X t |] < ∞. Examples and related results are given.

“…After Sato [29], [30], the set T has been studied in detail by Sato and Watanabe [33], [34]. In [33], they obtained a criterion for η ∈ T for a general transient Lévy process and discussed the relation with the moment of the last exit time from a half line for a one-dimensional random walk. This had been studied by Janson [16] f (x)(E x f (X s ))dx.…”
