Kella, Offer; Löpker, Andreas Weak convergence of subordinators to extremal processes. (English) Zbl 1319.60117 Stochastic Processes Appl. 123, No. 8, 3122-3131 (2013). Summary: For certain subordinators \((X_t)_{t\geq 0}\) it is shown that the process \((-t\log X_{ts})_{s>0}\) tends to an extremal process \((\overline{\eta}_s)_{s>0}\) in the sense of convergence of the finite dimensional distributions. Additionally it is also shown that \((z\wedge (-t\log X_{ts}))_{s\geq 0}\) converges weakly to \((z\wedge\overline{\eta}_s)_{s\geq 0}\) in \(\mathcal{D}[0,\infty )\), the space of càdlàg functions equipped with Skorokhod’s \(\mathbf{J}_1\) metric.
