TLDR
In this paper, the authors consider the distributional properties of Levy processes and propose a potential theory for Levy processes, which is based on the Wiener-Hopf factorization.Abstract:

Ten equivalent definitions of the fractional laplace operator
TL;DR: In this article, several definitions of the Riesz fractional Laplace operator in R^d have been studied, including singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination, and harmonic extensions.

Optimal stopping and perpetual options for Lévy processes
TL;DR: A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Lévy process, and a corresponding closed formulas for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained.

Density and tails of unimodal convolution semigroups
TL;DR: For the isotropic unimodal probability convolutional semigroups, this article gave sharp bounds for their Levy-Khintchine exponent with Matuszewska indices strictly between 0 and 2.
Extreme Events: Dynamics, Statistics and Prediction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics.

The small-maturity smile for exponential Levy models
TL;DR: This paper derived a small-time expansion for out-of-the-money call options under an exponential Levy model, using the small time expansion for the distribution function given in Figueroa-Lopez & Houdre (2009), combined with a change of num\'eraire via the Esscher transform.

Variance Swaps on Defaultable Assets and Market Implied Time-Changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the value of a variance swap is computed when the underlying is modeled as a Markov process time changed by a Levy subordinator, where the underlying may exhibit jumps with a state-dependent Levy measure, local stochastic volatility and have a local stochastic default intensity.

On subexponentiality of the L\'evy measure of the diffusion inverse local time; with applications to penalizations
Paavo Salminen,Pierre Vallois +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotic behavior of the distribution of the local time of a recurrent linear diffusion on R + +$ was studied and the exact value of the multiple of the L\'evy measure was obtained.

Stochastic Transmission and Boundary Value Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide different techniques in order to study parameter-elliptic and parabolic boundary value problems for which the smoothness of the boundary data is not good enough to be treated by the classical theory.

Short-time expansions for close-to-the-money options under a L\'evy jump model with stochastic volatility
TL;DR: The regularity conditions imposed on the Lévy density are relaxed to the weakest possible conditions for such an expansion to be well defined and extended both to the case of “close-to-the-money” strikes and to the cases where the continuous Brownian component is replaced by an independent stochastic volatility process with leverage.
