### On the one-sided exit problem for stable processes in random scenery

#### Abstract

We consider the one-sided exit problem for stable Lévy process in random scenery, that is the asymptotic behaviour for $T$ large of the probability $$\mathbb{P}\Big[ \sup_{t\in[0,T]} \Delta_t \leq 1\Big]$$ where $$\Delta_t = \int_{\mathbb{R}} L_t(x) \, dW(x).$$ Here $W=(W(x))_{x\in\mathbb{R}}$ is a two-sided standard real Brownian motion and $(L_t(x))_{x\in\mathbb{R},t\geq 0}$ the local time of a stable Lévy process with index $\alpha\in (1,2]$, independent from the process $W$. Our result confirms some physicists prediction by Redner and Majumdar.
