Asymptotic behavior of semistable L\'evy exponents and applications to fractal path properties

Abstract

This paper proves sharp bounds on the tails of the L\'evy exponent of an operator semistable law on $\mathbb R^d$. These bounds are then applied to explicitly compute the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the range, graph, and other random sets describing the sample paths of the corresponding operator semi-selfsimilar L\'evy processes. The proofs are elementary, using only the properties of the L\'evy exponent, and certain index formulae.
