The Convex Minorant of the Cauchy Process

Jean Bertoin, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie


Abstract
We determine the law of the convex minorant $(M_s, sin [0,1])$ of a real-valued Cauchy process on the unit time interval, in terms of the gamma process. In particular, this enables us to deduce that the paths of $M$ have a continuous derivative, and that the support of the Stieltjes measure $dM'$ has logarithmic dimension one.
