Duals and time-reversed flows of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes

Abstract: We derive explicit representations for the (Siegmund-) dual and the time-reversed flow of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes whenever these exist. It turns out that the dual and the process corresponding to the reversed stochastic flow are again generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. Further, we observe that the stationary distribution of the dual process provides information about the hitting time of zero of the original process.
