Between arithmetic and geometric Brownian motions: when are negative values possible?

Assuming that $\mu$ and $S_0$ are positive, the process stays almost surely non-negative. This is easily seen as when $S$ hits zero, it has a deterministic drift upwards. However, the process does not …

Distribution of last time Brownian motion crosses a line

Yes, it is explicitly known, but a bit tedious to write it down. You can find it in section 5.1 (compare also section 4) of Paavo Salminen. On the First Hitting Time and the Last Exit Time for a Brow …

Poisson kernel, $E^{(x, y)}\text{exp}\{i\theta X_t - \theta Y_t\} = e^{i\theta x - \theta y}$

Ignoring first the issue of boundary conditions, we note that by adding and subtracting an artificial $\frac{\theta^2}{2}t$ term in the exponential, $\mathbb{E}\bigl[e^{i \theta X_t - \theta Y_t} \bi …

$\lim_{t\rightarrow 0}P\left(X_t >0\right)=\frac 1 2$ for continuous semimartingales?

The proof is not correct, as without additional integrability condition you will not be able to conclude that $g_n \in L^2$ for $n$ large enough, and therefore the $L^2$ convergence argument fails. As …

Question about the exit time of a time-homogeneous Itô diffusion

You can solve this by reducing it to a problem of Brownian motion: Define the scale function $\varsigma(x) = \int_{X_0}^x e^{-2\int_{X_0}^y \frac{b(z)}{\sigma^2(z)} dz} dy$ the process $M_t = \var …

Is a stopped Ito-integral integrable if the Ito integrand is only square-integrable on an op...

A counterexample should be just the deterministic $$Z_t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{T-t}}$$ with $$\tau := \inf{\biggl\{s>0 : \int_0^s Z_u \, dW_u =1\biggr\}}$$. You have $\tau < T$ a.s.and thus $$\mathbb{E}\big …
