A "resampling identity" for the Bessel(3) process
I've come across the following resampling identity and was wondering if this is known since it seems rather natural. Take $X$ a two-sided Brownian motion conditioned to always stay below $1$. (So if ...

Comparison theorem for SDEs driven by a continuous martingale
Consider the well-known comparison theorem for SDEs, versions of which appear in several textbooks, e.g., Karatzas and Shreve, Proposition 5.2.18, or Revuz and Yor, Theorem IX.3.7.
The result states ...

Reference for the 'Brownian Representation Formula'
I am reading a paper ('Hydrodynamics of the N-BBM Process', by De Masi, Ferrari, Presutti, Soprano-Loto) which quotes the 'Brownian representation formula' to represent the solution of a free boundary ...

Algebraic area of Brownian half-plane excursion
Is anything known about the distribution of the algebraic area, à la Lévy's stochastic area, of a Brownian excursion in the half-plane? To be precise, letting $x>0$, we consider the path $(X_t,Y_t)...

Generating realizations from $n$-dimensional geometric Brownian motion where the variables are constrained to sum to 1
Is there a way to simulate an $N$-dimensional geometric Brownian motion i.e. variable $$x_i, i \in [1, N] $$ is diffusing in log-space such that $$\log (x_i)$$ follows a Brownian motion with a given ...

Schilder's theorem for brownian bridges
I am really not a probabilist and I apologize if my question is too naive or not appropriate, please feel free to migrate to SE.
A bit of context: usually, Schilder's theorem tells us that the ...

Generator of Wiener process and its running maximum
This was originally posted on Math StackExchange a long time ago, but got no answer (even after a bounty).
Let $W$ be a standard linear Wiener process issued from zero and $M$ its running maximum

Dynamics for sets related to Brownian motion: zero set, fast points
For sets like the Cantor set, we have preserving maps (eg. the shift-maps and conjugates to it) that allows us to study dynamical quantities such as invariant measure and entropy. I am wondering if we ...

Explicit martingale representation for a Brownian bridge
Let $W$ denote a Wiener process, $\displaystyle M_t = \max_{0 \le s \le t} W_s$ its running maximum. The martingale representation of $M$ is known explicitly:
$$M_T = \sqrt{\frac{2T} \pi} + \int_0^T ...

Feynman-Kac formula for *general* Sturm-Liouville operator
One way to state (omitting technical requirements) the Feynman-Kac formula that I am familiar with is as follows.
Let $u$ be a solution to the pde
$$u_t(x,t)=-\frac{\sigma^2(x,t)}2u_{xx}(x,t)-V(x,t)u(...
