The real trees form a class of metric spaces that extends the class of trees with edge lengths by allowing behavior such as infinite total edge length and vertices with infinite branching degree. We use Dirichlet form methods to construct Brownian motion on any given locally compact $R$-tree {$(T,r)$} equipped with a Radon measure $ν$ {on $(T,{\mathcal B}(T))$}. We specify a criterion under which the Brownian motion is recurrent or transient. For compact recurrent $R$-trees we provide bounds on the mixing time.
In this revised version, assumption (A3) for an $R$-tree has been removed.
We derive several explicit distributions of functionals of Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree. In particular, we give a direct proof of a result of Bousquet-Mélou and Janson identifying the distribution of the density at 0 of the integrated super-Brownian excursion.
We consider the model of Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree. For every $r\geq 0$ and every connected component of the set of points where Brownian motion is greater than $r$, we define the boundary size of this component, and we then show that the collection of these boundary sizes evolves when $r$ varies like a well-identified growth-fragmentation process. We then prove that the same growth-fragmentation process appears when slicing a Brownian disk at height $r$ and considering the perimeters of the resulting connected components.

Rate of convergence of Euler approximations of solution to mixed stochastic differential equation involving Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion
We prove limit theorems for the weighted quadratic variation of trifractional Brownian motion and $n$-th order fractional Brownian motion. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the $L^P$-convergence of the weighted quadratic variation for Gaussian processes is obtained as a byproduct. As an application, we give a statistical estimator for the self-similarity index of trifractional Brownian motion. These theorems extend results of Baxter, Gladyshev, and Norvaiša.
We consider the persistence probability for the integrated fractional Brownian motion and the fractionally integrated Brownian motion with parameter $H,$ respectively. For the integrated fractional Brownian motion, we discuss a conjecture of Molchan and Khokhlov and determine the asymptotic behavior of the persistence exponent as $H\to 0$ and $H\to 1,$ which is in accordance with the conjecture. For the fractionally integrated Brownian motion, also called Riemann-Liouville process, we find the asymptotic behavior of the persistence exponent as $H\to 0$.
To model the destruction of a resilient network, Cai, Holmgren, Devroye and Skerman introduced the $k$-cut model on a random tree, as an extension to the classic problem of cutting down random trees. Berzunza, Cai and Holmgren later proved that the total number of cuts in the $k$-cut model to isolate the root of a Galton--Watson tree with a finite-variance offspring law and conditioned to have $n$ nodes, when divided by $n^{1-1/2k}$, converges in distribution to some random variable defined on the Brownian CRT. We provide here a direct construction of the limit random variable, relying upon th…
We define and prove the existence of a fractional Brownian motion indexed by a collection of closed subsets of a measure space. This process is a generalization of the set-indexed Brownian motion, when the condition of independance is relaxed. Relations with the Levy fractional Brownian motion and with the fractional Brownian sheet are studied. We prove stationarity of the increments and a property of self-similarity with respect to the action of solid motions. Moreover, we show that there no "really nice" set indexed fractional Brownian motion other than set-indexed Brownian motion. Finally, …
Generalizations of tempered fractional Brownian from single index to two indices and variable index or tempered multifractional Brownian motion are studied. Tempered fractional Brownian motion and tempered multifractional Brownian motion with variable tempering parameter are considered.
The generalized grey Brownian motion is a time continuous self-similar with stationary increments stochastic process whose one dimensional distributions are the fundamental solutions of a stretched time fractional differential equation. Moreover, the distribution of the time-changed Brownian motion by an inverse stable process solves the same equation, hence both processes have the same one dimensional distribution. In this paper we show the mutual singularity of the probability measures on the path space which are induced by generalized grey Brownian motion and the time-changed Brownian motio…
We consider the tributary structure of Howard's drainage model studied by Gangopadhyay et. al. Conditional on the event that the tributary survives up to time $n$, we show that, as a sequence of random metric spaces, scaled tributary converges in distribution to a continuum random tree with respect to Gromov Hausdorff topology. This verifies a prediction made by Aldous for a simpler model (where paths are independent till they coalesce) but for a different conditional set up. The limiting continuum tree is slightly different from what was surmised earlier. Our proof uses the fact that there ex…
G-Brownian Motion as Rough Paths and Differential Equations Driven by G-Brownian Motion
本文从粗路理论的角度研究了G-布朗运动的样本路和由G-布朗运动驱动的随机微分方程。作为出发点，我们证明了G-布朗运动的准必然样本路径可以正则地增强到第二水平，从而成为粗糙度为2 < p < 3的几何粗糙路径.这一结果使我们能够在粗糙路径的一般框架下引入路径意义下的G-布朗运动驱动的粗糙微分方程的概念。其次，我们建立了由G-布朗运动驱动的随机微分方程与随机微分方程之间的基本关系。作为应用，我们引入了由G布朗运动驱动的微分流形上的随机微分方程的概念，并利用路径局部化技术从RDE的角度构造了解。这是基于Eells-Elworthy-Malliavin的思想在黎曼流形上引入G-布朗运动的出发点。本文的最后一部分讨论了一类广泛而有趣的G-函数的构造问题，这类G-函数的不变群是正交群。我们还发展了Euler-Maruyama近似的G-布朗运动的独立利益驱动的随机微分方程。
Estimating dynamic correlation between a pair of time series is of importance in many applications. We present new estimators for the dynamic correlation between a pair of correlated Brownian motions and separately for dynamic correlation between a pair of correlated Geometric Brownian motions. We show that, as the sample size increases, all estimators presented in this paper converge in probability to the underlying true dynamic correlation.
