We also analyse the boundary case, , when is slowly varying at 0. When , we show that converges in distribution, as , to the random variable . This latter random variable, as a function of , converges in distribution as to the inverse of an exponential random variable. We prove these convergences, also generalised to functional versions (convergence in ), and to trimmed versions, whereby a fixed number of its largest jumps up to a specified time are subtracted from the process. The case produces convergence to an extremal process constructed from ordered jumps of a Cauchy subordinator.
