Abstract
We study the Wiener–Hopf factorization for Lévy processes $X_{t}$ with completely monotone jumps. Extending previous results of L.C.G. Rogers, we prove that the space-time Wiener–Hopf factors are complete Bernstein functions of both the spatial and the temporal variable. As a corollary, we prove complete monotonicity of: (a) the tail of the distribution function of the supremum of $X_{t}$ up to an independent exponential time; (b) the Laplace transform of the supremum of $X_{t}$ up to a fixed time $T$, as a function of $T$. The proof involves a detailed analysis of the holomorphic extension of the characteristic exponent $f(\xi )$ of $X_{t}$, including a peculiar structure of the curve along which $f(\xi )$ takes real values.
