The area enclosed by the two-dimensional Brownian motion in the plane was studied by L\'evy, who found the characteristic function and probability density of this random variable. For other planar processes, in particular ergodic diffusions…

Suppose that $N_0$ independently diffusing particles, each with diffusivity $D$, are initially released at $x=\ell>0$ on the semi-infinite interval $0\leq x<\infty$ with an absorber at $x=0$. We determine the probability ${\cal P}(N)$ that…
