Rough paths analysis of general Banach space-valued Wiener processes
In the past the theory of rough paths has proven to be an elegant tool for deriving support theorems and large deviation principles. In this talk I will explain how this approach can be used in the analysis of stochastic flows generated by Kunita SDE's. As driving processes I will consider general Banach space valued Wiener processes.

Levy processes in Lie groups
This is a joint work with S.Albeverio. Classifying Levy processes on curved spaces is a difficult problem. The main obstacle is not having a natural Fourier transform. The choice of such depends on the structure of a Lie group. We use subordination to describe some Levy processes using different decompositions of the Lie groups.

Form Laplacians on Fractals
Meanwhile an analysis on sufficiently simple fractal sets (such as Sierpinski gaskets or Koch curves) is well established and
in many aspects well understood. In such cases one can construct Laplacians acting on functions on the fractals as the limits
of rescaled sequences of discrete Laplacians on approximating graphs.
In the case of a smooth Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ on the other hand there exists a whole scale of $k$-Laplacians
acting on differential $k$-forms, respectively, $k=0,...,n$. Already the $1$-Laplacian contains interesting and accessible
geometric (curvature) information.
Motivated by the search for curvature-like geometric quantities in the fractal case, we start an investigation of some analog
of the $1$-Laplacian on some fractal sets. It involves simple tools from combinatorial geometry as well as from potential theory.
The talk sketches some work in progress.

On stationary distributions of some generalised Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes.
A generalised Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is the solution V(t) to the stochastic
differential equation V(t) = V(t-) dU(t) + dL(t), which is driven by the bivariate Levy
process (U,L). We shall be interested in infinite divisibility and continuity properties
of the marginal distribution of the stationary version of such processes. The case when
U(t) is of the form
(b-1) N(t) with a constant b in (0,1) and N and L are Poisson processes will
be studied in detail, and it will be shown that continuity properties of the
corresponding stationary distribution depends in an intrinsic way on algebraic
properties of the constant b and on the ratio of the rates of the Poisson processes N and L. We shall also find new examples of b-decomposable distributions without their factor
being infinitely divisible, or of non-infinitely divisible distributions with infinitely divisible symmetrisations.
The talk is based on joint work with Ken-iti Sato.

On the p-variation of Linear Fractional Stable Motion
Linear Fractional Stable Motion (LSFM) as defined in the monograph by G.~Samorodnicky and M.~Taqqu is one of interesting
stochastic processes with trajectories having different global and local H\"older exponents. As a consequence of this, finding the p-variation index of such a process
requires some additional work. In this talk, we will discuss a certain misconception regarding p-variation, a way of finding p-variation index of LFSM as well as some interesting and possibly difficult open questions regarding stable laws.

Absolute continuity of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes
Let X be a multidimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solution to the S.D.E.
dX = AX + dB
where A is a real nxn matrix and B a Lévy process. We show that when A is non-singular, the law of X_1 is absolutely continuous if and only if the jumping measure of B fulfils a certain geometric condition with respect to A and the Gaussian part of B, which we call the exhaustion property. This optimal criterion is much weaker than for B, which might be very singular and genuinely one-dimensional. The proof uses a certain time derivation procedure and basic arguments from controllability theory.

Conservation property for symmetric jump processes
I will consider the conservativeness of symmetric
jump processes. Under a reasonable assumption on the jump
kernel, the conservativess is shown.
After proving the property for the 'trancated' jump process,
the conservativeness of the 'whole' process is given by using a
perturbation method. This is a joint work with Jun Masamune.

Analyzing the fine structure of stochastic processes
In the recent years starting from the Black-Scholes model in mathematical finance many different models
either based on semimartingales, purely continuous, pure jump and a mixture of
both, or fractional Brownian motion have been proposed in an attempt to capture
the empirical facts of real data both in finance and physics, e.g.~heavy tails, skewness, excess kurtosis and long range
dependence.
We propose to include the fine structure into this analysis, which makes it
possible to distinguish between semimartingales and fractional Brownian motion
on the one hand and on the other hand determine the presence of jumps and measurement errors or
market microstructure.
We will compare two different approaches, one based on the regularity of the
sample paths, the other one based on the correlation structure. For both
methods we provide consistency and a distributional theory and apply them to
high frequency financial data and turbulence data. Furthermore, the
distributional theory for fractional Brownian motion based models provides
some new insight in the scaling laws for turbulence data.
