BGW.StableTrees.ExcursionMarkovProof

The Markov property of the stable excursion measure #

The strong Markov property at strict age crossings gives the identity for each selected excursion. Exact-once reindexing, compensation and nonnegative summation give the identity under the excursion measure.

Excursion Markov property. For nonnegative measurable F on the prefix path space D t ℝ (through excursionRestrict t) and G on the whole future (through the uncentred futureFrom t): N[1_{ζ>t} F(r_t e) G(e(t+·))] = N[1_{ζ>t} F(r_t e) (K_{e(t)} G)].
