Brownian couplings, convexity, and shyness.
Let be a mapping from an open set in into , with . To say that preserves Brownian motion, up to a random change of clock, means that is harmonic and that its tangent linear mapping in proportional to a co-isometry. In the case , , such conditions signify that corresponds to an analytic function of one complex variable. We study, essentially that case , , in which we prove in particular that such a mapping cannot be “inner” if it is not trivial. A similar result for , would solve...
A method known as renormalization is proposed for constructing some more physically realistic random potentials in a Poisson cloud. The Brownian motion in the renormalized random potential and related parabolic Anderson models are modeled. With the renormalization, for example, the models consistent to Newton’s law of universal attraction can be rigorously constructed.
We develop a procedure that allows us to “descretise” the Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold. We construct thus a random walk that is a good approximation of the Brownian motion.
