Fonctions harmoniques d'ordre infini et l'harmonicité réelle liée à l'opérateur laplacien itéré (Potential theory, Miscellanea)
This paper studies two classes of functions in (an open set of) $R^n$, $n\ge1$: 1) Harmonic functions of infinite order (see Avanissian and Fernique, Ann. Inst. Fourier, 18-2, 1968), which are $C^\infty$ functions satisfying a growth condition on their iterated laplacians, and are shown to be real analytic. 2) Infinitely differentiable functions (or distributions) similar to completely monotonic functions on the line, i.e., whose iterated laplacians are alternatively positive and negative (they were introduced by Lelong). Among the results is the fact that the second class is included in the first

Application d'un théorème de G. Mokobodzki à la théorie des flots (Ergodic theory, General theory of processes)
The purpose of this paper is to extend to the theory of filtered flows (for which see 901 and 902) the dual version of the general theory of processes due to Azéma (for which see 814 and 937), in particular the association with any measurable process of suitable projections which are homogeneous processes. An important difference here is the fact that the time set is the whole line. Here the class of measurable processes which can be projected is reduced to a (not very explicit) class, and a commutation theorem similar to Azéma's is proved. The proof uses the technique of medial limits due to Mokobodzki (see 719), which in fact was developed precisely at the author's request to solve this problem

Pedagogic notes on the barrier theorem (Potential theory)
Let $D$ a bounded open set in $R^n$, and let $z$ be a boundary point. Then a barrier at $z$ is a superharmonic function in $D$, strictly positive and with a limit equal to $0$ at $z$. The barrier theorem asserts that if there is a barrier at $z$, then $z$ is regular. An elegant proof of this is given using Brownian motion. Then it is shown that the expectation of $S$, the hitting time of $D^c$, is bounded, upper semi-continuous in $R^n$ and continuous in $D$, and is a barrier at every regular point

Les dérivations en théorie descriptive des ensembles et le théorème de la borne (Descriptive set theory)
At the root of set theory lies Cantor's definition of the derived set'' $\delta A$ of a closed set $A$, i.e., the set of its non-isolated points, with the help of which Cantor proved that a closed set can be decomposed into a perfect set and a countable set. One may define the index $j(A)$ to be the smallest ordinal $\alpha$ such that $\delta^\alpha A=\emptyset$, or $\omega_1$ if there is no such ordinal. Considering the set $F$ of all closed sets as a (Polish) topological space, ordered by inclusion, $\delta$ as an increasing mapping from $F$ such that $\delta A\subset A$, let $D$ be the set of all $A$ such that $j(A)<\omega_1$ (thus, the set of all countable closed sets). Then $D$ is coanalytic and non-Borel, while the index is bounded by a countable ordinal on every analytic subset of $D$. These powerful results are stated abstractly and proved under very general conditions. Several examples are given
Comment: See a correction in 1241, and several examples in Hillard 1242. The whole subject has been exposed anew in Chapter~XXIV of Dellacherie-Meyer, Probabilités et Potentiel

Deux remarques sur la séparabilité optionnelle (General theory of processes)
Optional separability was defined by Doob, Ann. Inst. Fourier, 25, 1975. See also Benveniste, 1025. The main remark in this paper is the following: given any optional set $H$ with countable dense sections, there exists a continuous change of time $(T_t)$ indexed by $[0,1[$ such that $H$ is the union of all graphs $T_t$ for $t$ dyadic. Thus Doob's theorem amounts to the fact that every optional process becomes separable in the ordinary sense once a suitable continuous change of time has been performed

Stopping times with given laws (General theory of processes)
Given a filtration ${\cal A}_t$ such that for all $t>0$ the law $P$ restricted to ${\cal A}_t$ is non-atomic, then for every law $\mu$ on the half-line there exists a stopping time with law $\mu$. The proof uses an interesting measure theoretic lemma on decreasing sequences of non-atomic $\sigma$-fields
Comment: It follows that the Brownian filtration contains a process whose law is that of a Poisson process (though of course it is not a Poisson process of the Brownian filtration )

Une remarque sur les bimesures (Measure theory)
A bimeasure is a function $\beta(A,B)$ of two set variables, which is a measure in each variable when the other is kept fixed. It is important to have conditions under which a bimeasure is'' a measure, i.e., is of the form $\mu(A\times B)$ for some measure $\mu$ on the product space. This is known to be true for positive bimeasures ( Kingman, Pacific J. of Math., 21, 1967, see also 315). Here a condition of bounded variation is given, which implies that a bimeasure is a difference of two positive bimeasures, and therefore is a measure
Comment: Signed bimeasures which are not measures occur naturally, see for instance Bakry 1742, and Émery-Stricker on Gaussian semimartingales

Les changements de temps en théorie générale des processus (General theory of processes)
Given a filtration $({\cal F}_t)$ and a continuous adapted increasing process $(C_t)$, consider its right inverse $(j_t)$ and left inverse $(i_t)$, and the time-changed filtration $\overline{\cal F}_t={\cal F}_{j_t}$. The problem is to study the relation between optional/previsible processes of the time-changed filtration and time-changed optional/previsible processes of the original filtration, to see how the projections or dual projections are related, etc. The results are satisfactory, and require a lot of care

Notes in M. 563, 1976): given a sequence $(U^n)$ of optional processes such that $U^n_T$ converges weakly in $L^1$ for every stopping time $T$, does there exist an optional process $U$ such that $U^n_T$ converges to $U_T$?

Résultats récents de A. Benveniste en théorie des flots (Ergodic theory)
A filtered flow is said to be diffuse if there exists a r.v. ${\cal F}_0$-measurable $J$ such that given any ${\cal F}_0$-measurable r.v.'s $T$ and $H$, $P\{J\circ\theta_T=H, 0<T<\infty\}=0$. The main result of the paper is the fact that a diffuse flow contains all Lévy flows (flows of increments of Lévy processes, no invariant measure is involved). In particular, the Brownian flow contains a Poisson counter
Comment: This result on the whole line is similar to 1106, which concerns a half-line. The original paper of Benveniste appeared in Z. für W-theorie, 41, 1977/78

Le dual de $H^1({\bf R}^\nu)$~: démonstrations probabilistes (Potential theory, Applications of martingale theory)
This is a self-contained exposition and proof of the celebrated (Fefferman-Stein) result that the dual of $H^1(R^n)$ is $BMO$, using methods adapted from the probabilistic Littlewood-Paley theory (of which this is a kind of limiting case). Some details of the proof are interesting in their own right
Comment: Though the proof is complete, it misses an essential point in the Fefferman-Stein theorem, namely, it depends on the Cauchy (Poisson) semigroup while the original result the convolution with quite general smooth functions in its definition of $H^1$. Similar methods were used by Bakry in the case of spheres, see 1818. The reasoning around (3.1) p.178 needs to be corrected

Décomposition atomique de martingales de la classe $H^1$ (Martingale theory)
Atomic decompositions have been used with great success in the analytical theory of Hardy spaces, in particular by Coifman (Studia Math. 51, 1974). An atomic decomposition of a Banach space consists in finding simple elements (called atoms) in its unit ball, such that every element is a linear combination of atoms $\sum_n \lambda_n a_n$ with $\sum_n \|\lambda_n\|<\infty$, the infimum of this sum defining the norm or an equivalent one. Here an atomic decomposition is given for $H^1$ spaces of martingales in continuous time (defined by their maximal function). Atoms are of two kinds: the first kind consists of martingales bounded uniformly by a constant $c$ and supported by an interval $[T,\infty[$ such that $P\{T<\infty\}\le 1/c$. These atoms do not generate the whole space $H^1$ in general, though they do in a few interesting cases (if all martingales are continuous, or in the discrete dyadic case). To generate the whole space it is sufficient to add martingales of integrable variation (those whose total variation has an $L^1$ norm smaller than $1$ constitute the second kind of atoms). This approach leads to a proof of the $H^1$-$BMO$ duality and the Davis inequality

Prolongement de processus holomorphes. Cas carré intégrable'' (Several parameter processes)
This paper concerns a class of two-parameter (real) processes adapted to the filtration of the Brownian sheet, and called holomorphic in the seminal paper of the authors in Acta Math. 4, 1975. These processes have stochastic integral representations along (increasing) paths, with a common kernel called their derivative. Under an integrability restriction, a process holomorphic in a region of the plane is shown to be extendable as a holomorphic process to a larger region of a canonical shape (intersection of a rectangle and a disk centered at the origin)

Changements de temps et intégrales stochastiques (Martingale theory)
A probability space $(\Omega, {\cal F}, P)$ such that $L^1(P)$ is separable (a condition which is often fulfilled) is endowed with a filtration $({\cal F}_t)$ satisfying the usual conditions. Then (extending ideas of Yan, see 925) it is shown that there exists a right continuous strictly increasing process $(O_t)$ such that every optional process is indistinguishable from a deterministic function $f(0_t)$, every previsible process from a deterministic function of $(0_{t-})$. Using the change of time associated with this process, previsible processes of the original filtration are time changed into deterministic processes, and the theory of stochastic integration is reduced to spectral integrals (as Stieltjes integration on the line can be reduced to Lebesgue's). A bounded previsible process $(u_t)$ define a bounded operator $U$ on $L^2$ as follows: starting from $h\in L^2$, construct the closed martingale $E[h|{\cal F}_t] =H_t$, and then $Uh=\int_0^\infty u_s dH_s$. Using the preceding results it is shown that the von Neumann algebra generated by the conditional expectation operators $E[\sc |{\cal F}_T]$ where $T$ is a stopping time consists exactly of these stochastic integral operators. On this point see also 1135

Kazamaki gave in 1027 a criterion for a continuous martingale to belong to $BMO$, involving its stochastic exponential. This criterion is extended, though in a different form, to non-continuous local martingales: $M$ belongs to $BMO$ if and only if for $|\lambda|$ small enough, its stochastic exponential ${\cal E}(\lambda M)$ is a (positive) multiplicatively bounded process---a class of processes, which looked promising but did not attract attention

Sur la construction des intégrales stochastiques et les sous-espaces stables de martingales (Martingale theory)
This paper develops the theory of stochastic integration (previsible and optional) with respect to local martingales starting from the particular case of continuous local martingales, and from the explicit description of the jumps of a local martingale (1121, 1129). Then the theory of stable subspaces of $H^1$ (instead of the usual $H^2$) is developed, as well as the stochastic integral with respect to a random measure. A characterization is given of the jump process of a semimartingale. Then previsible stochastic integrals for semimartingales are given a maximal extension, and optional integrals for semimartingales (differing as usual from those for martingales) are defined
Comment: On the maximal extension of the stochastic integral $H{\cdot}X$ with $H$ previsible, see also Jacod, Calcul stochastique et problèmes de martingales, Springer 1979. Other, equivalent, definitions are given in 1415, 1417, 1424 and 1530

Une mise au point sur les martingales locales continues définies sur un intervalle stochastique (Martingale theory)
The following definition is given of a continuous local martingale $M$ on an open interval $[0,T[$, for an arbitrary stopping time $T$: two sequences are assumed to exist, one of stopping times $T_n\uparrow T$, one $(M_n)$ of continuous martingales, such that $M=M_n$ on $[0,T_n[$. Stochastic integration is studied, and the change of variable formula is extended. It is proved that the set where the limit $M_{T-}$ exists and is finite is a.s. the same as that where $\langle M,M\rangle_T<\infty$, a result whose proof under the usual definition (i.e., assuming $T$ is previsible) was not clear

Notes sur les intégrales stochastiques (Martingale theory)
This paper contains six additions to 1017. Chapter~I concerns Hilbert space valued martingales, following Métivier, defining in particular their operator valued brackets and the corresponding stochastic integrals. Chapter~II gives a new proof (due to Yan, and now classical) of the basic result on the structure of local martingales. Chapter~III is a theorem of Herz (and Lépingle in continuous time) on the representation of $BMO$ which corresponds to the maximal'' definition of $H^1$. Chapter~IV states that, if $(B_t)$ is a $BMO$ martingale and $(X_t)$ is a martingale bounded in $L^p$, then $\sup_t X^{\ast}_t |B_{\infty}-B_t|$ is also in $L^p$ with a norm controlled by that of $X$ ($1< p<\infty$; there is at least a wrong statement about $p=1$ at the bottom of p. 470). This result can be interpreted as $L^p$ boundedness of the commutator of two operators: multiplication by an element of $BMO$, and stochastic integration by a bounded previsible process. Chapter~V (again on $BMO$) has a wrong proof, and seems to be still an open problem. Chapter~VI consists of small additions and corrections, and in particular acknowledges the priority of P.W.~Millar for useful results on local times

Changement de temps d'un processus markovien additif (Markov processes)

For instance, subordinators are Markov additive processes with trivial $X$. A simpler proof of a basic formula of Cinlar is given, and it is shown also that a Markov additive process gives rise to a regenerative system in a slightly extended sense
