Abstract

This note gives a bound on the error of the leading term of the t0t\to 0 asymptotic expansion of the Hartman-Watson distribution θ(r,t)\theta(r,t) in the regime rt=ρrt=\rho constant. The leading order term has the form θ(ρ/t,t)=12πte1t(F(ρ)π2/2)G(ρ)(1+ϑ(t,ρ))\theta(\rho/t,t)=\frac{1}{2\pi t}e^{-\frac{1}{t} (F(\rho)-\pi^2/2)} G(\rho) (1 + \vartheta(t,\rho)), where the error term is bounded uniformly over ρ\rho as ϑ(t,ρ)170t|\vartheta(t,\rho)|\leq \frac{1}{70}t.
