Stable random variables and stable stochastic integrals
LetZ be a real-valued random variable, andχZ its characteristic function defined as: ∀λ∈R,χZ(λ) :=E(eiλZ). Z is said to have a symmetric stable distribution of stability parameterα∈(0,2] and scale parameterσ∈R+, if:
∀λ∈R, χZ(λ) = exp(−σα|λ|α). (1.1)
→whenα= 2,Z reduces to a centered Gaussian random variable of variance 2σ2.
→The situation is very different whenα∈(0,2) andσ >0; the distribution ofZ becomes heavy-tailed:
P(|Z|>z)∼c(α)σαz−α, when z →+∞. (1.2) This, in particular, implies that:
E(|Z|γ)<+∞ whenγ < α, and E(|Z|γ) = +∞ whenγ≥α. (1.3)
Introduction and motivations
We denote byMeα a complex-valued rotationally invariantα-stable random measure onRd with Lebesgue control measure.
The related stable stochastic integral is denoted byR
Rd ·
dMeα. It is a linear map on the Lebesgue spaceLα(Rd) such that, for any deterministic function g ∈Lα(Rd), the real partRe R
Rdg(ξ)dMeα(ξ) is a real-valued symmetric α-stable random variable with a scale parameter satisfying
σ Re
Z
Rd
g(ξ)dMeα(ξ) α
= Z
Rd
g(ξ)

The equality (1.4) is reminiscent of the classical isometry property of Wiener integrals; in particular, it implies thatRe R
Rdgn(ξ)dMeα(ξ) converges to Re R
Rdg(ξ)dMeα(ξ) in probability, when a sequence (gn)nconverges tog in Lα(Rd). This will be useful for us.
A classical reference on stable distributions and related topics, including stable random measures and their associated stochastic integrals, is the book of Samorodnitsky and Taqqu (1994).

Introduction and motivations
Stationary increments harmonizable stable fields
Let us now focus on the definition of
X(t),t ∈Rd , the class of the real-valued stationary increments harmonizable stable fields we intend to study.
The main ingredient of the definiton isf, an arbitrary real-valued Lebesgue measurable even function onRd satisfying the condition:
Z
Rd
min 1,||ξ||α f(ξ)
αdξ <+∞, (1.5) where||·||denotes the Euclidian norm onRd. Notice that, by analogy with the Gaussian case (see Bonami and Estrade (2003), for instance), the function|f|α is calledthe spectral density of the field X.
Thanks to (1.5), for anyt ∈Rd, the functionξ7→ eit·ξ−1
f(ξ) belongs to Lα(Rd), and thus it is integrable with respect toMeα. The field
X(t),t ∈Rd is defined, for allt∈Rd, as
X(t) =X[f](t) :=Re Z

Harmonizable and Linear Fractional Stable Motions
A classical particular case: harmonizable fractional stable motion (hfsm)of Hurst parameterH∈(0,1), denoted by{Xhfsm(t),t ∈R}and defined as: ∀t ∈R,
Xhfsm(t) :=Re Z
R
eitξ−1
|ξ|−H−1/αdMeα(ξ)
. (1.7)
Xhfsm is one of the two most classical extensions of the well-knownfractional Brownian motion (fBm)to the setting of the heavy-tailed stable distributions.
The other classical extension of fBm to this setting is calledlinear fractional stable motion (lfsm)and denoted by
Ylfsm(t),t ∈Rd . In contrast withXhfsm, the processYlfsmis not defined through an integral in the frequency domain but through an integral in the time domain:
Ylfsm(t) :=
Z
R
|t+s|H−1/α− |s|H−1/α
dMα(s), (1.8) whereMα is anα-stable real-valued random measure onR.
A. Ayache and G. Boutard (Universit´e Lille 1) Behaviour of harmonizable stable fields Workshop Fractality and Fractionality 6 / 30
Introduction and motivations
In spite of the fact that the stable processesXhfsm andYlfsmextend the same Gaussian process (the fBm) there are hudge differences between these two stable processes. For instance:
→Sample paths ofYlfsm are continuous functions only whenH>1/α; in the latter case their critical H¨older regularity isH−1/α. This result can be derived from Kolmogorov’s H¨older continuity Theorem, since, for each fixedγ∈(0, α), one has:
∀t1,t2∈R, E
Ylfsm(t1)−Ylfsm(t2)
γ
=cα,γ t1−t2
1+γ(H−1/γ)
. (1.9)
→Sample paths ofXhfsmare always continuous functions and their H¨older regularity isH−η, for anyη >0. This result can not be derived from
Kolmogorov’s H¨older continuity Theorem, even ifXhfsmalso satisfies (1.9). It was obtained by Kˆono and Maejima (1991) thanks to a LePage type series
representation ofXhfsm.
Generally speaking there are hudge differences between stable stochastic fields defined through stochastic integrals in the frequency domain, and those defined through stochastic integrals in the time domain.
Introduction and motivations
Our two motivations
In the continuous case, wavelet methods (see Ayache, Roueff and Xiao (2009)) have turned out to be efficient in the fine study of global and directional sample path behaviour of linear fractional stable sheet; that is the extension toRd of the processYlfsm. Can this methodology be adapted to the general stationary
increments stable fieldX? This issue is the main motivation of our talk.
Also we mention that the study of global and directional sample path behaviour of X may have an impact on future development of new applications related with modelling of anisotropic materials in frames of heavy-tailed stable distributions. It is worthwhile to note that in Gaussian frames such a modelling has already proved to be useful, in particular for detecting osteoporosis in human bones through the analysis of their radiographic images (see for instance Bonami and Estrade (2003) or Bierm´e, Richard, Rachidi and Benhamou (2009)).
Typically,X is an anisotropic model when the rate of vanishing at infinity of the corresponding spectral density|f|αchanges from one axis of Rd to another;
therefore, we focus on the classAof the so-called admissible functionsf, defined in the following way.

The Gaussian case α = 2
We denote by
ψJ,K : (J,K)∈Zd×Zd the orthonormal basis ofL2(Rd) defined in the following way: for all (J,K) := (j1, . . . ,jd,k1, . . . ,kd)∈Zd×Zd and x:= (x1, . . . ,xd)∈Rd

description of the wavelet tools used in the present section. It is worthwhile noting thatψ1is a real-valued function belonging to the Schwartz classS(R), and that its Fourier transformψc1 is a compactly supportedC∞ function onR, such that
suppψc1⊆
λ∈R: 2π
3 ≤ |λ| ≤ 8π 3
. (2.2)
Wavelet type random series representation
The fact that the Fourier transform map is an isometry fromL2(Rd) into itself implies that ”the Fourier transform of the basis
ψJ,K : (J,K)∈Zd×Zd ”,that is
ψbJ,K : (J,K)∈Zd×Zd ,is also an orthonormal basis of L2(Rd). Thus, for any fixedt ∈Rd, the kernel functionξ7→ eit·ξ−1
f(ξ), associated withX(t), can be expressed as:
eit·ξ−1
f(ξ) = X
(J,K)∈Zd×Zd
sJ,K(t)ψbJ,K(ξ) (inL2(Rd)). (2.3)
The coefficientssJ,K(t) are given by sJ,K(t) :=

(2.6) Finally, in view of the isometry property of the stochastic integralR

Wavelet type random series representation
The general case α ∈ (0, 2)
The arguments, we have used in the ”convenient” framework of the Hilbert space L2(Rd), have to be adapted to the ”more hostile” framework of the spaceLα Rd . The main difficulty comes from the fact that
ψbJ,K: (J,K)∈Zd×Zd is no longer a basis ofLα Rd
.
The functionψα,J,K = 2(j1+···+jd)(1/2−1/α)ψJ,K denotes the renormalized version of the functionψJ,K so thatkψbα,J,KkLα(Rd) does not depend on (J,K).
Thus setting Ψα,J = 2(j1+···+jd)(1/α−1/2)ΨJ, it follows that for every (J,K)∈Zd×Zd and (t, ξ)∈Rd×Rd, one has
sJ,K(t)ψbJ,K(ξ) = ΨJ 2Jt−K
−ΨJ(−K)
ψbJ,K(ξ) (2.9)

−Ψα,J(−K)
ψbα,J,K(ξ).

Recall thatLα Rd
is a complete metric space for the distance
Dα(g1,g2) :=
kg1−g2kLα(Rd)=R
Rd|g1(ξ)−g2(ξ)|α dξ1/α
, ifα≥1, kg1−g2kαLα(Rd)=R
Rd|g1(ξ)−g2(ξ)|αdξ, else.
(2.10) Also, noticeDα(g1,g2) =Dα(g1−g2,0).
The proof of the fact that, for any fixedt∈Rd, the kernel function ξ7→ eit·ξ−1
f(ξ), associated withX(t), can be expressed as:
eit·ξ−1
f(ξ) = X
(J,K)∈Zd×Zd
sJ,K(t)ψbJ,K(ξ) (inLα(Rd)), (2.11)
is divided in two steps.

Step 1. We show that
X
(J,K)∈Zd×Zd
Dα
sJ,K(t)ψbα,J,K(·),0
<+∞. (2.12)
Notice that, in view of the completeness ofLα Rd

such that F(t, ξ) = X
(J,K)∈Zd×Zd
sJ,K(t)ψbJ,K(ξ) (inLα(Rd)). (2.13)
Step 2. We show that, for allt∈Rd and almost allξ∈Rd, F(t, ξ) = eit·ξ−1
f(ξ). (2.14)
Basically the Step 2 is derived from the fact that, for any fixed arbitrarily small η >0, the functionξ7→ eit·ξ−1
f(ξ)Qd
l=11{|ξl|≥η} belongs toL2(Rd).

Basically, the Step 1 is derived from the following proposition.
Proposition 2.1
Ψα,J is infinitely differentiable onRd. Moreover, all the functions∂bΨα,J, b∈Zd+, are well-localized:
(i) There is a positive constant c, such that for all J∈Zd+, and x= (x1, . . . ,xd)∈Rd,

Wavelet type random series representation
Next, using arguments rather similar to those in the Gaussian case, we can show that:
Proposition 2.2 (Wavelet representation ofX)
The field{X(t),t∈Rd}can be expressed, for each fixed t ∈Rd, as
X(t) = X
(J,K)∈Zd×Zd
Ψα,J 2Jt−K
−Ψα,J(−K)

. (2.18)
→The convergence of the series in (2.17) can be strenghtened to almost sure uniform convergence int belonging to any compact subset ofRd.
→In contrast with the Gaussian case, theα,J,K’s are not independent, they even have a complicated dependence structure.

Results on path behaviour
Basically, path behaviour ofX is determined by asymptotic behaviour of the sequence
α,J,K : (J,K)∈Zd×Zd . Let us state three crucial lemmas on this latter one.
Lemma 3.1 (the caseα∈(0,1))
There exists an eventΩ∗ of probability 1 which depends onαand satisfies the following property: for all fixedδ∈(0,+∞)andω∈Ω∗, there is a finite constant C(ω)>0(depending onα,δandω), such that, for every J = (j1, . . . ,jd)∈Zd and K ∈Zd, one has

Lemma 3.2 (the caseα∈[1,2))
There exists an eventΩ∗ of probability 1 which depends onαand satisfies the following property: for each fixedδ∈(0,+∞)andω∈Ω∗, there is a finite constant C(ω)>0(depending on α,δ andω), such that for all

In contrast with the previous two lemmas, the following one is a rather classical result.
Lemma 3.3 (the Gaussian caseα= 2)
There exists an eventΩ∗ of probability 1 satisfying the following property: for every fixedω∈Ω∗, there is a finite constant C(ω)>0 (depending onω), such that for each(J,K) = (j1, . . . ,jd,k1, . . . ,kd)∈Zd×Zd,

Notice that in the three crucial lemmas, we have just stated, the events of full probability Ω∗ are universal in the sense that they do not depend on the particular choice of the functionf associated with the fieldX. The results, we will obtain, on path behaviour ofX are valid on these universal events.

Sketch of the proof of Lemma 3.1: Let{κm:m∈N},{Γm:m∈N}, and {gm:m∈N} be three arbitrary mutually independent sequences of random variables having the following three properties.
1 Theκm’s,m∈N, areRd-valued, independent, identically distributed and absolutely continuous, with a probability density function, denoted byφ, such that the measureφ(ξ)dξis equivalent to the Lebesgue measuredξonRd.
2 The Γm’s,m∈N, are Poisson arrival times with unit rate.
3 Thegm’s,m∈N, are complex-valued, independent, identically distributed, rotationally invariant and satisfyE[|Re(gm)|α] = 1.
