We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.
We derive explicit Krein resolvent identities for generally singular Sturm-Liouville operators in terms of boundary condition bases and the Lagrange bracket. As an application of the resolvent identities obtained, we compute the trace of…
Given a sequence of resistance forms that converges with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff-vague topology and satisfies a uniform volume doubling condition, we show the convergence of corresponding Brownian motions and local times. As a…

This paper analyzes the problem of starting and stopping a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process with fixed costs. In addition, we also study a related optimal switching problem that involves an infinite sequence of starts and stops. We…
We present simple assumptions on the constraints defining a hard core dynamics for the associated reflected stochastic differential equation to have a unique strong solution. Time-reversibility is proven for gradient systems with normal…
We study a continuous-time simple random walk on a regular rooted tree of depth $n$ in two settings: either the walk is started from a leaf vertex and run until the tree root is first hit or it is started from the root and run until it has…
I derive a temporally propagated uni-directional optical pulse equation valid in the few cycle limit. Temporal propagation is advantageous because it naturally preserves causality, unlike the competing spatially propagated models. The exact…
We study Markov processes conditioned so that their local time must grow slower than a prescribed function. Building upon recent work on Brownian motion with constrained local time in [5] and [33], we study transience and recurrence for a…
For continuous \gamma, g:[0,1]\to(0,\infty), consider the degenerate stochastic differential equation dX_t=[1-|X_t|^2]^{1/2}\gamma(|X_t|) dB_t-g(|X_t|)X_t dt in the closed unit ball of R^n. We introduce a new idea to show pathwise…
Consider the $n \times n$ reverse circulant $RC_n(t)$ and symmetric circulant $SC_n(t)$ matrices with independent Brownian motion entries. We discuss the process convergence of the time dependent fluctuations of linear eigenvalue statistics…
This article introduces autocorrelograms for time series of point processes. Such time series usually arise when a longer temporal or spatio-temporal point process is sliced into smaller time units; for example, when an annual process is…
We explore properties of path integral complexity in field theories on time dependent backgrounds using its dual description in terms of Hartle-Hawking wavefunctions. In particular, we consider boundary theories with time dependent…
This paper addresses the inverse source problem for a mixed-type fractional wave-diffusion-wave equation posed in a cylindrical domain. The governing equation involves a time-dependent variable-order fractional derivative, which enables the…
In this note, we are interested in the probability that two independent squared Bessel processes do not cross for a long time. We show that this probability has a power decay which is given by the first zero of some hypergeometric function.…
We construct discrete time Markov chains that preserve the class of Schur processes on partitions and signatures. One application is a simple exact sampling algorithm for q^{volume}-distributed skew plane partitions with an arbitrary back…
We consider several critical wetting models. In the discrete case, these probability laws are known to converge, after an appropriate rescaling, to the law of a reflecting Brownian motion, or of the modulus of a Brownian bridge, according…
We describe an algorithm which, given two essential curves on a surface $S$, computes their distance in the curve graph of $S$, up to multiplicative and additive errors. As an application, we present an algorithm to decide the…
The paper studies frequency characteristics and predictability of real sequences, i.e., discrete time processes in deterministic setting. We consider band-limitness and predictability of one-sided sequences. We establish predictability of…
In this paper, we investigate the deterministic multidimensional Skorokhod problem with normal reflection in a family of time-dependent convex domains that are c\`adl\`ag with respect to the Hausdorff metric. We then show the existence and…
