Zero occupation of the reflected stable process #
At each fixed positive time the reflection is positive almost surely: otherwise the terminal time would minimize the compact path, contrary to the regularity and reversal theorem. Fubini then gives zero Lebesgue occupation of the zero set. This avoids a separate construction of the drift coefficient of the passage subordinator (J. Bertoin, Lévy Processes, Cambridge University Press, 1996, Chapter VII).

At any fixed positive time the reflected stable process is almost surely positive.

The zero set of the reflected process is Lebesgue-null (a.s.; measured in ℝ through the
coercion, since ℝ≥0 carries no MeasureSpace instance).
