摘要:If beta(t). is renormalized self-intersection local time for planar Brownian motion, we characterize when Ee(gammabeta1) is finite or infinite in terms of the best constant of a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality. We prove large deviation estimates for beta(1) and -beta(1). We establish lim sup and lim inf laws of the iterated logarithm for beta(t) as t --> infinity.

摘要:We present a new method to prove existence and uniform a priori estimates for Euclidean Gibbs measures corresponding to quantum anharmonic crystals. It is based first on the alternative characterization of Gibbs measures in terms of their logarithmic derivatives through integration by parts formulas, and second on the choice of appropriate Lyapunov functionals.

摘要:We study a new type of representation problem for optional processes with connections to singular control, optimal stopping and dynamic allocation problems. As an application, we show how to solve a variant of Skorohod's obstacle problem in the context of backward stochastic differential equations.

摘要:We present precise moderate deviation probabilities, in both quenched and annealed settings, for a recurrent diffusion process with a Brownian potential. Our method relies on fine tools in stochastic calculus, including Kotani's lemma and Lamperti's representation for exponential functionals. In particular, our result for quenched moderate deviations is in agreement with a recent theorem of Comets and Popov [Probab. Theory Related Fields 126 (2003) 571-609] who studied the corresponding proble...

摘要:We evaluate the shattering dimension of various classes of linear functionals on various symmetric convex sets. The proofs here relay mostly on methods from the local theory of normed spaces and include volume estimates, factorization techniques and tail estimates of norms, viewed as random variables on Euclidean spheres. The estimates of shattering dimensions can be applied to obtain error bounds for certain classes of functions, a fact which was the original motivation of this study. Althoug...

摘要:Expected utility maximization problems in mathematical finance lead to a generalization of the classical definition of entropy. It is demonstrated that a necessary and sufficient condition for the second law of thermodynamics to operate is that any one of the generalized entropies should tend to its minimum value of zero.

摘要:Suppose that the integers are assigned the random variables {w(x), mu(x)} (taking values in the unit interval times the space of probability measures on R+), which serve as an environment. This environment defines a random walk {X-t} (called a RWREH) which, when at x, waits a random time distributed according to mu(x) and then, after one unit of time, moves one step to the right with probability omega(x), and one step to the left with probability 1 - omega(x). We prove large deviation principl...

摘要:We consider the solution (u, eta) of the white-noise driven stochastic partial differential equation with reflection on the space interval [0, 1] introduced by Nualart and Pardoux, where eta is a reflecting measure on [0, infinity) x (0, 1) which forces the continuous function u, defined on [0, infinity) x [0, 1], to remain nonnegative and eta has support in the set of zeros of u. First, we prove that at any fixed time t > 0, the measure eta([0, t] x dtheta) is absolutely continuous w.r.t. the...

摘要:We prove weak Poincare inequalities on domains which are inverse images of open sets in Wiener spaces under continuous functions of Brownian rough paths. The result is applicable to Dirichlet forms on loop groups and connected open subsets of path spaces over compact Riemannian manifolds.

摘要:We study the homogenization property of systems of quasi-linear PDEs of parabolic type with periodic coefficients, highly oscillating drift and highly oscillating nonlinear term. To this end, we propose a probabilistic approach based on the theory of forward-backward stochastic differential equations and introduce the new concept of auxiliary SDEs.
