Brownian flights over a circle

Abstract

The stationary radial distribution, P(ρ)P(\rho), of the random walk with the diffusion coefficient DD, which winds with the tangential velocity VV around the impenetrable disc of radius RR for R1R\gg 1 converges to the distribution involving the Airy function. Typical trajectories are localized in the circular strip [R,R+δR1/3][R, R+ \delta R^{1/3}], where δ\delta is the constant which depends on the parameters DD and VV and is independent on RR.
