We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Gaussian vector with non-zero mean, to have infinitely divisible squares for all scalar multiples of the mean, and show how the this vector is related to the local times of a Markov…

In this work, we approximate a diffusion process by its Euler scheme and we study the convergence of the density of the marginal laws. We improve previous estimates especially for small time.

Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^{+}$ with expectation $1$ and variance $V.$ Let $\mu _{n}$ denote the $n$-time free multiplicative convolution of measure $\mu $ with itself. Then, for large $n$ the length of the support…

We illustrate how a technique from the theory of random iterations of functions can be used within the theory of products of matrices. Using this technique we give a simple proof of a basic theorem about the asymptotic behavior of…

Jiang, Dickey, and Kuo [12] gave the multivariate c-characteristic function and showed that it has properties similar to those of the multivariate Fourier transformation. We first give the multivariate c-characteristic function of a random functional of a Ferguson-Dirichlet process over…

We give a simple probabilistic proof of the classical fact from complex analysis that the zeros of a holomorphic function of several variables are never isolated and that they are not contained in any compact set. No facts from complex…

For the one-dimensional Brownian motion $B=(B_t)_{t\geq 0}$, started at $x>0$, and the  first hitting time $\tau=\inf\{t\geq 0:B_t=0\}$, we find the probability density of $B_{u\tau}$ for a $u\in(0,1)$, i.e. of the Brownian motion on its way to hitting zero.

Let $\alpha$ be a fixed number from the interval $[0,1]$. We obtain the sharp probability bounds for the maximal function of the process which is $\alpha$-differentially subordinate to a bounded submartingale. This generalizes the previous results of Burkholder and Hammack.

We show how a description of Brownian exponential functionals as a renewal series gives access to the law of the hitting time of a square-root boundary by a Bessel process. This extends classical results by Breiman and Shepp, concerning Brownian…

In this note we investigate the last passage percolation model in the presence of macroscopic inhomogeneity. We analyze how this affects the scaling limit of the passage time, leading to a variational problem that provides an ODE for the deterministic…
