Abstract

In this paper we study the existence of Lebesgue densities of one-dimensional Lévy processes. Equivalently, we show the absolute continuity of the distributions of one-dimensional Lévy processes. Compared with the previous literature, we consider Lévy processes with Lévy symbols of a logarithmic behavior at ∞.
