The purpose of this paper is to construct a Brownian motion $X := (X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ taking values in a Riemannian manifold $M$, together with a compact valued process $D:= (D_t)_{t\geq 0}$ such that, at least for small enough ${\mathscr…

We show that Sullivan's method of constructing eigenfunctions of the Laplacian \cite{Sullivan1987RelatedAO} is applicable to non-compact simply connected harmonic manifolds of purely exponential volume growth. Thereby we extend the case of…

Let $\tau_{D}(Z) $ be the first exit time of iterated Brownian motion from a domain $D \subset \RR{R}^{n}$ started at $z\in D$ and let $P_{z}[\tau_{D}(Z) >t]$ be its distribution. In this paper we establish the exact asymptotics of…

In this paper we introduce three Markovian couplings of Brownian motions on smooth Riemannian manifolds without boundary which sit at the crossroad of two concepts. The first concept is the one of shy coupling put forward in…

We generalize for the Bilaplacian the Eells-Elworthy- Malliavin construction of the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold.

For every bounded planar domain $D$ with a smooth boundary, we define a `Lyapunov exponent' $\Lambda(D)$ using a fairly explicit formula. We consider two reflected Brownian motions in $D$, driven by the same Brownian motion (i.e., a…

We establish lower bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue for the natural geometric sub-elliptic Laplacian operator defined on sub-Riemannian manifolds of step 2 that satisfy a positive curvature condition. The methods are very general…

We compute a closed-form expression for the moment generating function $\hat{f}(x;\lambda,\alpha)=\frac{1}{\lambda}\mathbb{E}_x(e^{\alpha L_{\tau}})$, where $L_t$ is the local time at zero for standard Brownian motion with reflecting…
