Explicit formulae for the densities of the first hitting times to the sphere of Brownian motions with drifts are given. We need to consider the joint distributions of the first hitting times to the sphere and the hitting positions of the…

Consider a one-dimensional stepping stone model with colonies of size $M$ and per-generation migration probability $\nu$, or a voter model on $\mathbb{Z}$ in which interactions occur over a distance of order $K$. Sample one individual at…

We study the existence and regularity of local times for general $d$-dimensional stochastic processes. We give a general condition for their existence and regularity properties. To emphasize the contribution of our results, we show that…

Denote by $H(t)=(H_1(t),...,H_N(t))$ a function in $t\in{\mathbb{R}}_+^N$ with values in $(0,1)^N$. Let $\{B^{H(t)}(t)\}=\{B^{H(t)}(t),t\in{\mathbb{R}}^N_+\}$ be an $(N,d)$-multifractional Brownian sheet (mfBs) with Hurst functional $H(t)$.…

Let $B^H=\{B^H(t),t\in{{\mathbb{R}}_+^N}\}$ be an $(N,d)$-fractional Brownian sheet with index $H=(H_1,...,H_N)\in(0,1)^N$ defined by $B^H(t)=(B^H_1(t),...,B^H_d(t)) (t\in {\mathbb{R}}_+^N),$ where $B^H_1,...,B^H_d$ are independent copies…

Let $\{L^z_t\}$ be the jointly continuous local times of a one-dimensional Brownian motion and let $L^*_t=\sup_{z\in \mathbb R} L^z_t$. Let $V_t$ be any point $z$ such that $L^z_t=L^*_t$, a most visited site of Brownian motion. We prove…

In this article, we study the family of probability measures (indexed by a positive real number t), obtained by penalization of the Brownian motion by a given functional of its local times at time t. We prove that this family tends to a…

The purpose of the paper is to find the joint distribution of the hitting time and place of two-dimensional Brownian motion hitting the negative horizontal axis. We provide various formulas for Green functions as well as for the conditional…

Given a Brownian path $\beta(t)$ on $\mathbb{R}$, starting at $1$, a.s. there is a singular time set $T_{\beta}$, such that the first hitting time of $\beta$ by an independent Brownian motion, starting at $0$, is in $T_{\beta}$ with…

We derive a Ray-Knight type theorem for the local time process (in the space variable) of a skew Brownian motion up to an independent exponential time. It is known that the local time seen as a density of the occupation measure and taken…

As a continuation of Part I [8], a more precise formulation of local time and local system is given. The observation process is reflected in order to give a relation between the classical physics for centers of mass of local systems and the…

We consider the model of Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, which has appeared in a variety of different contexts in probability, statistical physics and combinatorics. For this model, the total occupation measure is known to…

We consider the paths of a Gaussian random process $x(t)$, $x(0)=0$ not exceeding a fixed positive level over a large time interval $(0,T)$, $T\gg 1$. The probability $p(T)$ of such event is frequently a regularly varying function at…

Area fluctuations of a Brownian excursion are described by the Airy distribution, which found applications in different areas of physics, mathematics and computer science. Here we generalize this distribution to describe the area…

We show that a Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ which is allowed to spend a total of $s > 0$ time units outside a bounded interval does not leave the interval at all. This can be seen as an extreme example of entropic repulsion.…

We study a one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned on a self-repelling behaviour. Given a nondecreasing positive function f(t), consider the measures mu_t obtained by conditioning a Brownian path so that L_s< f(s), for all s<t, where…

We study the density of the time average of the Brownian meander/excursion over the time interval [0,1]. Moreover we give an expression for the Brownian meander/excursion conditioned to have a fixed time average.

We consider a wide class of increasing L\'evy processes perturbed by an independent Brownian motion as a degradation model. Such family contains almost all classical degradation models considered in the literature. Classically failure time…
