Lévy measure of a symmetric Laplace time-one law

ID: levy-measure-of-a-symmetric-laplace-time-one-law

For , the Lévy process with characteristic function has zero Gaussian coefficient, zero uncompensated drift, and the displayed Lévy measure. Indeed, the symmetric jump integral is . Differentiating in gives , and integrating back from zero gives . The time-one law is the Laplace distribution of rate . The jump activity is infinite, since has infinite mass near zero, but the jump variation is finite because .
