review text: The authors [Ann. Probab. 22, No. 2, 626-658 (1994)] established recently first and second order laws of the iterated logarithm for the local times of symmetric Lévy processes in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index \(\alpha\in (1,2]\). The paper under review is a complement to the latter, and concerns symmetric Lévy processes and random walks in the domain of attraction of a Cauchy variable. Typically, let \(X\) be a real-valued recurrent symmetric Lévy process which possesses local times. Denote the truncated Green function by \(g(t)= \int^ t_ 0 p_ s(0)ds\), \(t\geq 0\), where \(p_ s(\cdot)\) stands for the continuous version of the semigroup. Under some technical conditions, if \(g\) is slowly varying at infinity, then a.s. \[ \begin{aligned} \limsup_{t\to\infty} {{L^ 0_ t} \over {g(t/ \log\log g(t))\log \log g(t)}} &=1\\ \text{and} \limsup_{t\to\infty} {{L^ 0_ t- L^ x_ t} \over {g^{1/2} (t/\log \log g(t))\log \log g(t)}} &= \sqrt{2} \sigma(x), \end{aligned} \] where \(L^ y_ s\) denotes the local time at level \(y\) and time \(s\) and \(\sigma^ 2(x)= \int^ \infty_ 0 (p_ t(0)- p_ t(x))^ 2 dt\). There is a similar result for symmetric random walks in dimensions 1 and 2. It was recently observed by \textit{Caballero} and the reviewer [On the rate of growth of subordinators with slowly varying Laplace exponent (to appear)] that these results can also be extended to the asymmetric case by using a general theorem of \textit{B. E. Fristedt} and \textit{W. E. Pruitt} [Z. Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie Verw. Geb. 18, 167-182 (1971; Zbl 0197.442)].
