Abstract

We show that for any α∈(1,2], the (stochastic) codimension of the zeros of an α-stable process in random scenery is identically 1-(2α)-1. As an immediate consequence, we deduce that the Hausdorff dimension of the zeros of the latter process is almost surely equal to (2α)-1. This solves Conjecture 5.2 of [6], thereby refining a computation of [10].

Keywords Random walk in random scenery; stochastic codimension; Hausdorff dimension.
