Description
Let $X_1,...,X_N$ denote $N$ independent $d$-dimensional Lévy processes, and consider the $N$-parameter random field \[\X(\bm{t}):= X_1(t_1)+...+X_N(t_N).\] First we demonstrate that for all nonrandom Borel sets $F\subseteq\R^d$, the Minkowski sum $\X(\R^N_+)\oplus F$, of the range $\X(\R^N_+)$ of $\X$ with $F$, can have positive $d$-dimensional Lebesgue measure if and only if a certain capacity of $F$ is positive. This improves our earlier joint effort with Yuquan Zhong \ycite{KXZ:03} by removing a symmetry-type condition there. Moreover, we show that under mild regularity conditions, our necessary and sufficient condition can be recast in terms of one-potential densities. This rests on developing results in classical [non-probabilistic] harmonic analysis that might be of independent interest. As was shown in \fullocite{KXZ:03}, the potential theory of the type studied here has a large number of consequences in the theory of Lévy processes. We present a few new consequences here.
