The three arcsine laws for Brownian motion are a cornerstone of extreme-value statistics. For a Brownian $B_t$ starting from the origin, and evolving during time $T$, one considers the following three observables: (i) the duration $t_+$ the…

In the theory of extreme values of Gaussian processes, many results are expressed in terms of the Pickands constant $\mathcal{H}_{\alpha}$. This constant depends on the local self-similarity exponent $\alpha$ of the process, i.e. locally it…

Fractional Brownian motion is a self-affine, non-Markovian and translationally invariant generalization of Brownian motion, depending on the Hurst exponent $H$. Here we investigate fractional Brownian motion where both the starting and the…

Brownian motion is the only random process which is Gaussian, stationary and Markovian. Dropping the Markovian property, i.e. allowing for memory, one obtains a class of processes called fractional Brownian motion, indexed by the Hurst…

The Brownian force model (BFM) is a mean-field model for the local velocities during avalanches in elastic interfaces of internal space dimension $d$, driven in a random medium. It is exactly solvable via a non-linear differential equation.…

Fractional Brownian motion is a non-Markovian Gaussian process $X_t$, indexed by the Hurst exponent $H$. It generalises standard Brownian motion (corresponding to $H=1/2$). We study the probability distribution of the maximum $m$ of the…
