Abstract:
The classical result of Paul Levy starts that for a standard 1 dimensional Brownian motion starting from zero, the time it spends in the positive region obeys the arcsine law. We will study the occupation measure of a Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold locally on one side of a smooth hypersurface and characterize its deviation from the classical arcsine law in terms of the mean curvature of the hypersurface.
This research is a joint work with Cheng Ouyang (University of Illinois at Chicago).
