Sharp integrability for Brownian motion in parabola-shaped regions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study the sharp order of integrability of the exit position of Brownian motion from the planar domains Pα = {(x, y) ∈ ℝ × ℝ: x > 0, y < Axα}, 0 < α < 1. Together with some simple good- λ type arguments, this implies the order of integrability for the exit time of these domains; a result first proved for α = 1/2 by Bañuelos et al. (Ann. Probab. 29 (2001) 882) and for general α by Li (Ann. Probab. 31 (2003) 1078). A sharp version of this result is also proved in higher dimensions.
