Remarks on Krein-Kotani's correspondence between strings and Herglotz functions (Q1030573)

In the study of spectral functions of Sturm-Liouville operators, \textit{S.\,Kotani} [Rep.\ Math.\ Phys.\ 59, No.\,3, 305--316 (2007; Zbl 1166.34053)] found a one-to-one correspondence between the operators and the Herglotz functions determining the spectral measures. In this paper, the authors give another correspondence to a class of Lévy processes obtained as a compensated integrals of Brownian local times. As an application, they extend the continuity theorem of Kotani's correspondence.
