Abstract: We present sufficient conditions, in terms of the jumping kernels, for two large classes of conservative Markov processes of pure-jump type to be purely discontinuous martingales with finite second moment. As an application, we establish the law of the iterated logarithm for sample paths of the associated processes.


Consider an \({\mathbb R}^d\)-valued time-homogeneous Markov process \((X_t)_{t\geq 0}\) with Feller generator \(L\) of the form \[ Lu(x) = \int_{{\mathbb R}^d \setminus \{ 0 \} } ( u(x+z)-u(x) - \langle \nabla u(x),z\rangle {\mathbf 1}_{\{ |z|<1\}} ) N(x,dz), \] where the Lévy measure \(N(x,dz)\) satisfies \[ \sup_{x\in {\mathbb R}^d } \int_{{\mathbb R}^d \setminus \{ 0 \} } |z|^2 N(x,dz) < \infty. \] The authors show that under the condition \[ \int_{\{ |z| \geq 1\} } z^{(i)} N(x,dz) =0, \qquad 1 \leq i \leq d, \] the process \((X_t)_{t\geq 0}\) is a purely discontinuous martingale with finite second moments. A law of the iterated logarithm for the sample paths of \((X_t)_{t\geq 0}\) is deduced as an application.
