Abstract
Let {Xt(μ),t≥ 0} be a Lévy process on Rd whose distribution at time 1 is a d-dimensional infinitely distribution μ. It is known that the set of all infinitely divisible distributions on Rd, each of which is represented by the law of a stochastic integral ∫01log(1/t)dXt(μ) for some infinitely divisible distribution on Rd, coincides with the Goldie-Steutel-Bondesson class, which, in one dimension, is the smallest class that contains all mixtures of exponential distributions and is closed under convolution and weak convergence. The purpose of this paper is to study the class of infinitely divisible distributions which are represented as the law of ∫01(log(1/t))1/αdXt(μ) for general α> 0. These stochastic integrals define a new family of mappings of infinitely divisible distributions. We first study properties of these mappings and their ranges. Then we characterize some subclasses of the range by stochastic integrals with respect to some compound Poisson processes. Finally, we investigate the limit of the ranges of the iterated mappings.
