Properties of the sample path for the symmetric stable process of order~, 0<~=< 2 in Euclidean n-space, Rn have been studied by many authors (see for example [1, 2, 13, 16]). It is well known that for 1<~~ 2, n= 1, the process is point recurrent so that in fact for any given x~ R 1 there is probability 1 that x will be visited c times (c is the cardinal of the continuum) and there is therefore no problem about the existence of multiple points. For other values of~, n the process is not point recurrent but there may be some points which the path visits more than once. A point visited at least twice is called a double point, while if it is visited at not less than k different time instants we call it a/c-multiple point. In the present paper we completely settle the question of the existence of/c-multiple points for 0<~< 2 and go on to consider the extent of the set of Gmultiple points when this is known to be non-void. The case~= 2 corresponds to Brownian motion and has previously been completely settled in the series of papers [6--9] mainly due to DVORETZKY, ERD0S and KAKUTANI. For/c= 2 and other values of g, TAKEUCKI [16] has shown that double points exist with probability 1 if 2~~.> 89 but that for 0< g G 89 the path enters no point twice with probability 1. We will make use of the estimates in [16], though our method has to be somewhat different.
