The class of multivariate L\'{e}vy-driven autoregressive moving average
(MCARMA) processes, the continuous-time analogs of the classical vector ARMA
processes, is shown to be equivalent to the class of continuous-time state
space models. The linear innovations of the weak ARMA process arising from
sampling an MCARMA process at an equidistant grid are proved to be
exponentially completely regular ($\beta$-mixing) under a mild continuity
assumption on the driving L\'{e}vy process.
Classes of multivariate and cone valued infinitely divisible Gamma
distributions are introduced. Particular emphasis is put on the cone-valued
case, due to the relevance of infinitely divisible distributions on the
positive semi-definite matrices in applications. The cone-valued class of
generalised Gamma convolutions is studied. In particular, a characterisation in
terms of an It\^o-Wiener integral with respect to an infinitely divisible
random measure associated to the jumps of a L\'evy process is established.
We study the joint limit distribution of the $k$ largest eigenvalues of a
$p\times p$ sample covariance matrix $XX^\T$ based on a large $p\times n$
matrix $X$. The rows of $X$ are given by independent copies of a linear
process, $X_{it}=\sum_j c_j Z_{i,t-j}$, with regularly varying noise $(Z_{it})$
with tail index $\alpha\in(0,2)$. It is shown that the point process based on
the eigenvalues of $XX^\T$ converges in distribution to a Poisson point process
with intensity measure depending on $\alpha$ and $\sum c_j^2$.
Multivariate $\operatorname {COGARCH}(1,1)$ processes are introduced as a
continuous-time models for multidimensional heteroskedastic observations. Our
model is driven by a single multivariate L\'{e}vy process and the latent
time-varying covariance matrix is directly specified as a stochastic process in
the positive semidefinite matrices. After defining the $\operatorname
{COGARCH}(1,1)$ process, we analyze its probabilistic properties.
We present a multivariate stochastic volatility model with leverage, which is
flexible enough to recapture the individual dynamics as well as the
interdependencies between several assets while still being highly analytically
tractable.
We show the existence of unique global strong solutions of a class of
stochastic differential equations on the cone of symmetric positive definite
matrices. Our result includes affine diffusion processes and therefore extends
considerably the known statements concerning Wishart processes.

Several important properties of positive semidefinite processes of
Ornstein--Uhlenbeck type are analysed. It is shown that linear operators of the
form $X\mapsto AX+XA^{\mathrm{T}}$ with $A\in M_d(\mathbb{R})$ are the only
ones that can be used in the definition provided one demands a natural
non-degeneracy condition.
