Hunt’s hypothesis (H) for Markov processes: survey and beyond. (English) Zbl 1480.60226
Summary: The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we survey the existing results on Hunt’s hypothesis (H) for Markov processes and Getoor’s conjecture for Lévy processes. Second, we investigate (H) for multidimensional Lévy processes from the viewpoint of projections. Third, we present a few open questions for further study.
