Abstract

We construct and characterize the one-parameter family of real-valued processes that allow to recover the law of a Brownian loop-soup of any intensity on the real line conditionally on its occupation time field. These processes generalize the Brownian burglar constructed by Warren and Yor (that corresponds to our process in the limiting case where the intensity vanishes and there is just one Brownian motion). These processes are closely related to the Bass-Burdzy flow and recent work of A\"id\'ekon, Hu and Shi on the stochastic Jacobi flow. Our approach uses a formalism, building on the notion of driver processes, where one considers the evolving object to be the line that we ``stretch", instead of the burglar itself and its remaining occupation time. This leads to a characterization of these (generalized) Brownian burglars by simple natural axioms. It also allows to treat ``negative intensities''and provides fairly direct derivations of several properties of the burglars, and in particular a ``target-independence/locality"property at the special intensity where the local time is the square of a Gaussian Free Field.

Conditioned Brownian motion and local equivalence of path ensembles

We study Brownian motion in R^d conditioned so that the time average of a continuous confining potential remains below a fixed level. On every fixed initial time interval, we prove that the conditioned process converges in total variation to the ground-state diffusion associated with a suitable Schr\"odinger operator....

Exact moduli of continuity for the local times of Feller Brownian motions

We examine the modulus of continuity, in the spatial variable, of the local time process of Feller Brownian motion (FBM) on the half-line $[0,\infty)$. Briefly, a FBM is a strong Markov process on $[0,\infty)$ that moves like standard Brownian motion on $[0,\infty)$ up until it first encounters the state $0$. The proce...

The radial part of $p$-Brownian motion

We initiate a geometric theory of $p$-Brownian motion, the nonlinear Markov process associated with the $p$-Laplacian introduced by Barbu-Rehmeier-R\"ockner. More precisely, we analyze its radial processes thoroughly, relative to an arbitrary center and in every dimension. On the one hand, we show explicit Tanaka--Meye...

Penalisation of Two-Dimensional Brownian Motion

We study a penalisation problem for two-dimensional Brownian motion. Starting from the Wiener measure, we consider a family of probability measures obtained by weighting paths by a nonnegative functional $F_t$ depending on $t \geq 0$, $F_t$ being measurable with respect to the $\sigma$-algebra generated by the path up...

Markov property for systems driven by the Brownian sheet

We study stochastic systems driven by a Brownian sheet and formulate a Markov property adapted to their two-parameter structure. For time-space homogeneous It\^o sheets, the future evolution from a point $(t,x)$ is not determined by the single value $Y(t,x)$ alone, but also by the boundary data along the horizontal and...

A Superprocess-based Approach to Rough CIR Processes and Feller Random Measures

Feller random measures generalize the Feller diffusion (the CIR process) by giving it memory. They arise as the scaling limits of nearly unstable Hawkes processes, and include the rough CIR process and its hyper-rough and discontinuous relatives. We show that every Feller random measure is the occupation measure of a D...
