  • April 12, 2021, 2:30 p.m.
    Witold Bednorz (MIM UW)
    joint work with Anna Talarczyk-Noble
    This talk will be about the existence of weakly c\`adl\`ag versions of a solution to a linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, driven by a Levy process taking values in a Hilbert space $U$. In particular, we focus on diagonal type processes, where processes on coordinates are functionals of independent $\alpha$-stable symmetric processes. We are going to show the equivalent characterization in this case. We apply the same techniques to obtain a sufficient condition for existence of a c\`adl\`ag version of stable processes described as integrals of deterministic functions with respect to symmetric $\alpha$-stable …
