Hiding a constant drift

Vilmos Prokaj, Miklós Rásonyi, Walter Schachermayer (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

The following question is due to Marc Yor: Let B be a brownian motion and St=t+Bt. Can we define an -predictable process H such that the resulting stochastic integral (H⋅S) is a brownian motion (without drift) in its own filtration, i.e. an -brownian motion? In this paper we show that by dropping the requirement of -predictability of H we can give a positive answer to this question. In other words, we are able to show that there is a weak solution to Yor’s question. The original question, i.e.,...

Hitting distributions of geometric Brownian motion

T. Byczkowski, M. Ryznar (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Let τ be the first hitting time of the point 1 by the geometric Brownian motion X(t) = x exp(B(t) - 2μt) with drift μ ≥ 0 starting from x > 1. Here B(t) is the Brownian motion starting from 0 with EB²(t) = 2t. We provide an integral formula for the density function of the stopped exponential functional A ( τ ) = 0 τ X ² ( t ) d t and determine its asymptotic behaviour at infinity. Although we basically rely on methods developed in [BGS], the present paper covers the case of arbitrary drifts μ ≥ 0 and provides a significant...

Hitting probabilities and potential theory for the brownian path-valued process

Jean-François Le Gall (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We consider the Brownian path-valued process studied in [LG1], [LG2], which is closely related to super Brownian motion. We obtain several potential-theoretic results related to this process. In particular, we give an explicit description of the capacitary distribution of certain subsets of the path space, such as the set of paths that hit a given closed set. These capacitary distributions are characterized as the laws of solutions of certain stochastic differential equations. They solve variational...

Infinite system of Brownian balls with interaction: the non-reversible case

Myriam Fradon, Sylvie Rœlly (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider an infinite system of hard balls in d undergoing Brownian motions and submitted to a smooth pair potential. It is modelized by an infinite-dimensional stochastic differential equation with an infinite-dimensional local time term. Existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is proven for such an equation with fixed deterministic initial condition. We also show that Gibbs measures are reversible measures.
