In this paper we consider the argmin process of random walks and L\'evy processes. We prove that they enjoy the Markov property, and provide their transition kernels in some special cases.

The conditional expectation and conditional variance of Brownian motion is considered given the argmax, B(t|argmax), as well as those with additional information: B(t|close, argmax), B(t|max, argmax), B(t|close, max, argmax) where the close…

Considering quantum random walks, we construct discrete-time approximations of the eigenvalues processes of minors of Hermitian Brownian motion. It has been recently proved by Adler, Nordenstam and van Moerbeke that the process of…

Motivated by L\'{e}vy's characterization of Brownian motion on the line, we propose an analogue of Brownian motion that has as its state space an arbitrary closed subset of the line that is unbounded above and below: such a process will be…

Let $B = (B_t)_{t \in {\bf R}}$ be a symmetric Brownian motion, i.e. $(B_t)_{t \in {\bf R}_+}$ and $(B_{-t})_{t \in {\bf R}_+}$ are independent Brownian motions starting at $0$. Given $a \ge b>0$, we describe the law of the random set…

This article provides an overview of recent work on descriptions and properties of the convex minorant of random walks and L\'evy processes which summarize and extend the literature on these subjects. The results surveyed include point…

Let $B=\{ B_{t}\} _{t\ge 0}$ be a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion. As an application of a recent result of ours on exponential functionals of Brownian motion, we show in this paper that, for every fixed $t>0$, the process given by…

For $0<\alpha \leq 2$ and $0<H<1$, an $\alpha$-time fractional Brownian motion is an iterated process $Z = \{Z(t)=W(Y(t)), t \ge 0\}$ obtained by taking a fractional Brownian motion $\{W(t), t\in \RR{R} \}$ with Hurst index $0<H<1$ and…

We construct and describe the extremal process for variable speed branching Brownian motion, studied recently by Fang and Zeitouni, for the case of piecewise constant speeds; in fact for simplicity we concentrate on the case when the speed…

We construct a stochastic process, called the Liouville Brownian motion, which is the Brownian motion associated to the metric $e^{\gamma X(z)}\,dz^2$, $\gamma<\gamma_c=2$ and $X$ is a Gaussian Free Field. Such a process is conjectured to…

We address the theory of records for integrated random walks with finite variance. The long-time continuum limit of these walks is a non-Markov process known as the random acceleration process or the integral of Brownian motion. In this…

A matrix random walk is a stochastic process of the form $B_k = (I+A_1)\cdots(I+A_k)$ where $A_j$ are independent ``step'' matrices in $\mathrm{M}_N(\mathbb{C})$. With the right entry-covariance, a rescaled matrix random walk converges to…

We consider scaled Brownian motion (sBm), a random process described by a diffusion equation with explicitly time-dependent diffusion coefficient $D(t) = D_0 t^{\alpha - 1}$ (Batchelor's equation) which, for $\alpha < 1$, is often used for…

In this paper, we establish limit theorems for the supremum of the support, denoted by $M_t$, of a supercritical super-Brownian motion $\{X_t, t\ge0\}$ on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that there exists an $m(t)$ such that $(X_t-m(t), M_t-m(t))$…

Pitman's theorem states that if {Bt, t $\ge$ 0} is a one-dimensional Brownian motion, then {Bt -- 2 inf s$\le$t Bs, t $\ge$ 0} is a three dimensional Bessel process, i.e. a Brownian motion conditioned in Doob sense to remain forever…

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…

Let $B=(B_t)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}}$ be a two-sided standard Brownian motion. An unbiased shift of $B$ is a random time $T$, which is a measurable function of $B$, such that $(B_{T+t}-B_T)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}}$ is a Brownian motion independent…

In this paper we investigate the class of grey Brownian motions $B_{\alpha,\beta}$ ($0<\alpha<2$, $0<\beta\leq1$). We show that grey Brownian motion admits different representations in terms of certain known processes, such as fractional…

We study a space-time Brownian motion with drift B(t)=(t_0+t,y_0+W(t)+t) killed at the moving boundary of the cone {(t,x):0<x<t}. This article determines the parabolic Martin boundary and all harmonic functions associated with this process.…

The purpose of this work is to construct a {\it Brownian motion} with values in simplicial complexes with piecewise differential structure. In order to state and prove the existence of such Brownian motion, we define a family of continuous…
