VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

For an unkilled Levy process $\xi$ drifting to $+\infty$ with all positive exponential moments, let $I_\xi = \int_0^\infty e^{-\xi_t}\,dt$ and $X_\xi = 1/I_\xi$. Bertoin and Yor proved $X_\xi$ is moment-determinate when $\xi$ has no positive jumps and conjectured that this condition is necessary. The conjecture is settled.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

The paper has a dedicated Use of AI tools section stating the models were used during the exploratory and editorial stages of the work. Exploration is mathematical work rather than prose work, but no individual step is attributed, so the lowest tier applies.
