The area of a spectrally positive stable process stopped at zero
Résumé
An identity in law for the area of a spectrally positive Lévy stable process stopped at zero is established. Extending that of Lefebvre for Brownian motion, it involves an inverse Beta random variable and the square of a positive stable random variable. This identity entails that the stopped area is distributed as the perpetuity of a spectrally negative Lévy process, and is hence self-decomposable. We also derive a convergent series representation for the density, whose behaviour at zero is shown to be Fréchet-like.
