Moment equivalence conjecture for stable-process passage times and functionals

About 19 years old · traced to

Let Z=(Zt)t≥0Z=(Z_t)_{t\geq 0} be the stable process considered in the paper, let TT be the associated stopping time, and let α\alpha be its stability index. For every k>0k>0, the moments of TT and ZTZ_T satisfy

E[Tk]<+∞⟺E[ZTkα]<+∞.\mathbb{E}[T^k]<+\infty\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad\mathbb{E}[Z_T^{k\alpha}]<+\infty.

This connects the lower-tail behavior of the homogeneous functional ZTZ_T with that of the stopping time TT; the source presents it as a statement to be raised from the preceding inequalities and does not provide evidence of its resolution.
