We study the ÿrst passage problem for one-sided LÃ evy motions: how does such a motion, started at the origin, cross a barrier positioned at the point x (x ¿ 0)? Since one-sided LÃ evy motions are pure-jump processes, they always 'leap' over barriers (rather than crossing them continuously). We henc

✦ Synopsis
We explore the statistical behavior of the order statistics of the ights of one-sided LÃ evy processes (OLPs). We begin with the study of the extreme ights of general OLPs, and then focus on the class of selfsimilar processes, investigating the following issues: (i) the inner hierarchy of the extreme ights-for example: how big is the 7th largest ight relative to the 2nd largest one?; and, (ii) the relative contribution of the extreme ights to the entire ' ight aggregate'-for example: how big is the 3rd largest ight relative to the OLP's value? Furthermore, we show that all 'hierarchical' results obtained-but not the 'aggregate' results-are explicitly extendable to the class of OLPs with arbitrary power-law ight tails (which is far larger than the selfsimilar class).

## Abstract The classical notion of Lévy process is generalized to one that takes as its values probabilities on a first or‐der model equipped with a commutative semigroup. This is achieved by applying a convolution product on definable probabilities and the infinite divisibility with respect to it
