Résumé
Abstract

Soit $(R_{t}, t ⩾ 0)$ un processus de Bessel de dimension $d \in (0, 2)$ . Pour tout $t ⩾ 0$ , on considère les temps $g_{t} = \sup {s ⩽ t : R_{s} = 0}$ et $d_{t} = \inf {s > t : R_{s} = 0}$ , ainsi que les trois suites : $(V_{g_{t}}^{n}, n ⩾ 1)$ , resp. $(V_{t}^{n}, n ⩾ 2)$ , resp. $(V_{d_{t}}^{n}, n ⩾ 2)$ des longueurs d'excursions de R hors de 0, avant $g_{t}$ , resp. avant t, resp. avant $d_{t}$ , rangées par ordre décroissant.

Nous obtenons un théorème limite concernant chacune des lois de ces trois suites, lorsque $t \to \infty$ . Ce théorème s'exprime à l'aide d'une mesure positive, σ-finie, Π sur $S^{↓} = {s = (s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n}, \dots); s_{1} ⩾ s_{2} ⩾ \dots ⩾ s_{n} ⩾ \dots ⩾ 0}$ . Π est intimement liée aux lois de Poisson–Dirichlet sur $S^{↓}$ .

Let $(R_{t}, t ⩾ 0)$ denote a d-dimensional Bessel process $(0 < d < 2)$ . For every $t ⩾ 0$ , we consider the times $g_{t} = \sup {s ⩽ t : R_{s} = 0}$ , and $d_{t} = \inf {s > t : R_{s} = 0}$ , as well as the three sequences: $(V_{g_{t}}^{n}, n ⩾ 1)$ , $(V_{t}^{n}, n ⩾ 2)$ , and $(V_{d_{t}}^{n}, n ⩾ 2)$ , which consist of the lengths of excursions of R away from 0 before $g_{t}$ , before t, and before $d_{t}$ , respectively, each one being ranked by decreasing order.

We obtain a limit theorem concerning each of the laws of these three sequences, as $t \to \infty$ . The result is expressed in terms of a positive, σ-finite measure Π on the set $S^{↓}$ of decreasing sequences. Π is closely related with the Poisson–Dirichlet laws on $S^{↓}$ .
