Abstract: This article deals with the asymptotic behaviour as to+infty of the survival function P[T>t], where T is the first passage time above a non negative level of a random process starting from zero. In many cases of physical significance, the behaviour is of the type P[T>t]=theta+o(1) for a known or unknown positive parameter heta which is called a persistence exponent. The problem is well understood for random walks or L'evy processes but becomes more difficult for integrals of such processes, which are more related to physics. We survey recent results and open problems in this field.
