Abstract

top
The aim of this note is to give a straightforward proof of a general version of the Ciesielski–Taylor identity for positive self-similar Markov processes of the spectrally negative type which umbrellas all previously known Ciesielski–Taylor identities within the latter class. The approach makes use of three fundamental features. Firstly, a new transformation which maps a subset of the family of Laplace exponents of spectrally negative Lévy processes into itself. Secondly, some classical features of fluctuation theory for spectrally negative Lévy processes (see, e.g., [In Séminaire de Probabalités XXXVIII (2005) 16–29 Springer]) as well as more recent fluctuation identities for positive self-similar Markov processes found in [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Probab. Statist.45 (2009) 667–684].
