Distribution of the Brownian motion on its way to hitting zero

Pavel Chigansky, The Hebrew University

Abstract
For the one-dimensional Brownian motion $B=(Bt)t≥ 0$, started at $x>0$, and the  first hitting time $τ=inf{t≥ 0:Bt=0}$, we find the probability density of $B$ for a $uin(0,1)$, i.e. of the Brownian motion on its way to hitting zero.
