Abstract
Let X = (X(t))t 2 T be a symmetric {stable, 0 < < 2, process with paths in the
dual E of a certain Banach space E. Then there exists a (bounded, linear) operator u
from E into some L (S; ˙) generating X in a canonical way. The aim of this paper is
to compare the degree of compactness of u with the small deviation (ball) behavior of
°(") =...In particular, we prove that a lower bound for
the metric entropy of u implies a lower bound for °(") under an additional assumption
on E. As applications we obtain lower small deviation estimates for weighted {stable
Levy motions, linear fractional {stable motions and d{dimensional {stable Levy
sheets. Our results rest upon an integral representation of L {valued operators as well
as on small deviation results for Gaussian processes due to Kuelbs and Li and to the
authors.
