Abstract:
Let denote a Lévy process in with exponent . Taylor (1986) proved that the packing dimension of the range is given by the index We provide an alternative formulation of in terms of the Lévy exponent . Our formulation, as well as methods, are Fourier-analytic, and rely on the properties of the Cauchy transform. We show, through examples, some applications of our formula.
