We apply the Feynman-Kac formula to compute the λ-Poisson kernels and λ-Green functions for half-spaces or balls in hyperbolic spaces. We present known results in a unified way and also provide new formulas for the λ-Poisson kernels and λ-Green functions of half-spaces in ℍⁿ and for balls in real and complex hyperbolic spaces.
The main objective of the work is to provide sharp two-sided estimates of the λ-Green function, λ ≥ 0, of the hyperbolic Brownian motion of a half-space. We rely on the recent results obtained by K. Bogus and J. Małecki (2015), regarding precise estimates of the Bessel heat kernel for half-lines. We also substantially use the results of H. Matsumoto and M. Yor (2005) on distributions of exponential functionals of Brownian motion.
The purpose of the paper is to provide a general method for computing the hitting distributions of some regular subsets D for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operators of the form 1/2Δ + F·∇, with F bounded and orthogonal to the boundary of D. As an important application we obtain integral representations of the Poisson kernel for a half-space and balls for hyperbolic Brownian motion and for the classical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The method developed in this paper is based on stochastic calculus and...
