Hitting distribution of a correlated planar Brownian motion in a disk

Abstract

In this paper we study the hitting probability of a circumference CRC_R for a correlated Brownian motion B(t)=(B1(t),B2(t))\underline{B}(t)=\left(B_1(t), B_2(t)\right), ρ\rho being the correlation coefficient. The analysis starts by first mapping the circle CRC_R into an ellipse EE with semiaxes depending on ρ\rho and transforming the differential operator governing the hitting distribution into the classical Laplace operator. By means of two different approaches (one obtained by applying elliptic coordinates) we obtain the desired distribution as a series of Poisson kernels.
