Abstract

In this paper, we will prove that the local time of a Lévy process is a rough path of roughness $p$ a.s. for any 2<p<3 under some condition for the Lévy measure. This is a new class of rough path processes. Then for any function g of finite q-variation (1≤ q <3), we establish the integral
-∞g(x)dLtx as a Young integral when 1≤ q<2 and a Lyons' rough path integral when 2≤ q<3. We therefore apply these path integrals to extend the Tanaka-Meyer formula for a continuous function f if f'- exists and is of finite q-variation when 1≤ q<3 , for both continuous semi-martingales and a class of Lévy processes.
