Abstract

We prove a property of Brownian bridges whose certain time-equidistant sequences of points are pairwise coupled by an interaction. Roughly saying, if the total time span tt of the bridge tends to infinity while the distance of its end points is fixed or increases slower than t\sqrt{t}, the process asymptotically forgets this distance, just as in the absence of interaction. The conclusion remains valid if the bridge interacts in a similar way also with another set of trajectories. The main example for the interaction is the Coulomb potential.
