Fluctuation identities for Levy processes and splitting at the maximum

It6's notion of a Poisson point process of excursions is used to give a unified approach to a number of results in the fluctuation theory of LUvy processes, including identities of Pecherskii, Rogozin and Fristedt, and Millar's path decomposition at the maximum.
