Abstract

We prove that the martingale problem is well posed for pure-jump Lévy-type operators of the form (\mathcal Lf)(x) = ∫_\mathbb Rd ∖ \0\ (f(x+h)-f(x) - (∇ f(x) ⋅ h)1‖h‖ lt; 1)K(x,h) dh, where K(x,⋅) is a jump kernel of the form K(x,h) ∼ (l(‖h‖))/(‖h‖d) for each x ∈ \mathbb Rd,‖h‖<1, and l is a positive function that is slowly varying at 0, under suitable assumptions on K. This includes jump kernels such as those of α-geometric stable processes, α∈ (0,2].
