A unified approach to the small-time behavior of the spectral heat content for isotropic Lévy processes

Kei Kobayashi, Hyunchul Park

Abstract

This paper establishes the precise small-time asymptotic behavior of the spectral heat content for isotropic Lévy processes on bounded $C^{1,1}$ open sets of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with $d\ge 2$, where the underlying characteristic exponents are regularly varying at infinity with index $α\in (1,2]$, including the case $α=2$. Moreover, this asymptotic behavior is shown to be stable under an integrable perturbation of its Lévy measure. These results cover a wide class of isotropic Lévy processes, including Brownian motions, stable processes, and jump diffusions, and the proofs provide a unified approach to the asymptotic behavior of the spectral heat content for all of these processes.

Key Result

Theorem 3.1

Let $D$ be a bounded $C^{1,1}$ open set in ${\mathbb R}^{d}$ with $d\ge 2$. Let $X$ be an isotropic Lévy process in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with the characteristic exponent $\psi\in {\mathcal{R}}_{\alpha}(\infty)$, $\alpha\in (1,2]$. Then where $\overline{Y}^{(\alpha)}$ is the supremum process of a symmetric $\alpha$-stable process $Y^{(\alpha)}$ in ${\mathbb R}$.
