We adapt ideas and concepts developed in optimal transport (and its martingale variant) to give a geometric description of optimal stopping times of Brownian motion subject to the constraint that the distribution of the stopping time is a…

Consider the motion of a Brownian particle in three dimensions, whose two spatial coordinates are standard Brownian motions with zero drift, and the remaining (unknown) spatial coordinate is a standard Brownian motion with a non-zero drift.…

We investigate the distribution of occupation times for a particle undergoing a random walk among random energy traps and in the presence of a deterministic potential field $U^{{\rm det}}(x)$. When the distribution of energy traps is…

Nearly fifty years after the introduction of skew Brownian motion by It\^o and McKean (1963), the first passage time distribution remains unknown. In this paper, we generalize results of Pitman and Yor (2001) and Cs\'aki and Hu (2004) to…

Occupation times quantify how long a stochastic process remains in a region, and their single-time statistics are famously given by the arcsine law for Brownian and L\'evy processes. By contrast, two-time occupation statistics, which…

Let $W$ be a standard Brownian motion with $W_0 = 0$ and let $b\colon[0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function with $b(0) > 0$. In this article, we look at the classical First Passage Time (FPT) problem, i.e., the question of…

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…

We study the probability distribution of the value of geometric Brownian motion at the stochastic observation time. It is known that the exponentially distributed observation time yields the distribution called the double Pareto…

We obtain the fluctuations for the occupation time of one-dimensional symmetric exclusion processes with speed change, where the transition rates (conductances) are driven by a general function W. The approach does not require sharp bounds…
