We study the spectrum of the kinetic Brownian motion in the space of $d\times d$ Hermitian matrices, $d\geq2$. We show that the eigenvalues stay distinct for all times, and that the process $\Lambda$ of eigenvalues is a kinetic diffusion…
Let $D$ be an unbounded domain in $\RR^d$ with $d\geq 3$. We show that if $D$ contains an unbounded uniform domain, then the symmetric reflecting Brownian motion (RBM) on $\overline D$ is transient. Next assume that RBM $X$ on $\overline D$…
We analyze a pair of reflected Brownian motions in a planar domain $D$, for which the increments of both processes form mirror images of each other when the processes are not on the boundary. We show that for $D$ in a class of smooth convex…
(i) Uncountably many synchronized reflected Brownian motions can hit the boundary of a $C^2$ domain at the same time. (ii) Measures associated to local times of two synchronized reflected Brownian motions are mutually singular until the…
The well-known reflection coupling gives a maximal coupling of two one-dimensional Brownian motions with different starting points. Nevertheless, the reflection coupling does not generalize to more than two Brownian motions. In this paper,…
In a series of papers, Burdzy et. al. introduced the \emph{mirror coupling} of reflecting Brownian motions in a smooth bounded domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$, and used it to prove certain properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of…
Consider a Brownian motion on the circumference of the unit circle, which jumps to the opposite point of the circumference at incident times of an independent Poisson process of rate $\lambda$. We examine the problem of coupling two copies…
Two random processes X and Y on a metric space are said to be $\varepsilon$-shy coupled if there is positive probability of them staying at least a positive distance $\varepsilon$ apart from each other forever. Interest in the literature…
In this paper we investigate three discrete or semi-discrete approximation schemes for reflected Brownian motion on bounded Euclidean domains. For a class of bounded domains $D$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that includes all bounded Lipschitz domains…
For domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, we prove universal upper and lower bounds on the product of the bottom of the spectrum for the Laplacian to the power $p>0$ and the supremum over all starting points of the $p$-moments of the exit…
We construct obliquely reflected Brownian motions in all bounded simply connected planar domains, including non-smooth domains, with general reflection vector fields on the boundary. Conformal mappings and excursion theory are our main…
The Brownian motion of a test particle interacting with a quantum scalar field in the presence of a perfectly reflecting boundary is studied in (1 + 1)-dimensional flat spacetime. Particularly, the expressions for dispersions in velocity…
Benjamini, Burdzy and Chen (2007) introduced the notion of a shy coupling: a coupling of a Markov process such that, for suitable starting points, there is a positive chance of the two component processes of the coupling staying a positive…
We consider the Skorokhod problem in a time-varying interval. We prove existence and uniqueness for the solution. We also express the solution in terms of an explicit formula. Moving boundaries may generate singularities when they touch. We…
Maximal couplings are (probabilistic) couplings of Markov processes such that the tail probabilities of the coupling time attain the total variation lower bound (Aldous bound) uniformly for all time. Markovian (or immersion) couplings are…
For a multidimensional driftless diffusion in an unbounded, smooth, sub-linear generalized parabolic domain, with oblique reflection from the boundary, we give natural conditions under which either explosion occurs, if the domain narrows…
We consider a finite family of invertible $2 \times 2$ real matrices and a transitive Markov shift on the index set. Let $\lambda$ be the top Lyapunov exponent for random matrix products driven by the Markov shift. We prove that, if the…
Semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBMs) are diffusion processes with state space the d-dimensional nonnegative orthant, in the interior of which the processes evolve according to a Brownian motion, and that reflect against the…
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…
We investigate the unique stationary measure of a positive recurrent reflecting Brownian motion in the upper half-plane, where the direction of reflection is constant on each half-axis. The Laplace transform of the stationary distribution…
