The intersection exponents for planar Brownian motion measure the exponential decay of probabilities of nonintersection of paths. We study the intersection exponent $\xi(\lambda_1,\lambda_2)$ for Brownian motion restricted to a half plane which by conformal invariance is the same as Brownian…

This corrects the scaling of (2.9) in EJP volume 16 paper 84 (2011).

We slightly improve the upper bounds of disconnection exponents for planar Brownian motion that we derived in an earlier paper. We also give a proof of the lower bound $1/(2\pi)$ for the disconnection exponent for one path.

Let $B$ be a two dimensional Brownian motion and let the frontier of $B[0,1]$ be defined as the set of all points in $B[0,1]$ that are in the closure of the unbounded connected component of its complement. We prove that…

Using Monte-Carlo simulations, we estimate numerically disconnection exponents for planar Brownian motions. These simulations tend to confirm conjectures by Duplantier and Mandelbrot.

We give another proof of the following result from a joint paper with Bálint Tóth: A Brownian motion reflected on an independent time-reversed Brownian motion is a Brownian motion.

We derive integral formulas, involving the Airy function, for moments of the time a two-sided Brownian motion with parabolic drift attains its maximum.

In the present paper we deduce explicit formulas for the probability laws of the quotients $X_t/R_t$ and $m_t/R_t$, where $X_t$ is the standard Brownian motion and $m_t$, $M_t$, $R_t$ are its running minimum, maximum and range, respectively.The computation makes use of standard techniques from…

Let $B$ be a Brownian motion in $R^d$, $d=2,3$. A time $t\in [0,1]$ is called a cut time for $B[0,1]$ if $B[0,t) \cap B(t,1] = \emptyset$. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of cut times equals $1…

Let $(B_t \colon t \ge 0)$ be a planar Brownian motion and define gauge functions $\phi_\alpha(s)=\log(1/s)^{-\alpha}$ for $\alpha>0$. If $\alpha<1$ we show that almost surely there exists a point $x$ in the plane such that ${\mathcal H}^{\phi_\alpha}(\{t \ge 0 \colon…
