Successful couplings for a class of stochastic differential equations driven by Lvy processes

By constructing proper coupling operators for the integro-differential type Markov generator,we establish the existence of a successful coupling for a class of stochastic differential equations driven by L’evy processes.Our result implies a new Liouville theorem for space-time bounded harmonic functions with respect to the underlying Markov semigroups,and it is sharp for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by α-stable L’evy processes.
