Abstract
We give necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of characteristics of the process, for finiteness of moments of passage times of general Lévy processes above horizontal, linear or certain curved boundaries. They apply in particular to processes which drift almost surely to infinity, and lead to estimates of the rate of growth of certain expectations, constituting generalised kinds of renewal theorems. Further results concern the inverse local time at the maximum and the ladder height process, the amount of time spent below a given level, and the overall minimum of the Lévy process. Des conditions nécessaires et suffisantes sont données pour la finitude des moments de certains temps de passage des processus de Lévy.
