Abstract

In [6, Théorème VI. 1], it is shown that almost all sample paths of a given stable process (Zt)\(_{t \in [0,1]} \) of index \(\) belong to the Besov spaces \(B_{p,\infty }^{1/\alpha } \) with 1 ≤ p < α. Our aim is to establish a similar result for general Lévy processes (Xt)t ≥ 0. It will turn out that if we restrict the paths to compact time intervals (and put them zero elsewhere) then they belong to Besov spaces \(B_{p,\infty }^s \) for a certain choice of parameters s and p. Finally we extend the results obtained for Lévy processes to Markov processes, which are – in a certain sense – comparable with the given Lévy process.
