Some Changes of Probabilities Related to a Geometric Brownian Motion Version of Pitman's 2M-X Theorem

Hiroyuki Matsumoto, Nagoya University
Marc Yor, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie


Abstract
Rogers-Pitman have shown that the sum of the absolute value of $B^{(mu)}$, Brownian motion with constant drift $mu$, and its local time $L^{(mu)}$ is a diffusion $R^{(mu)}$. We exploit the intertwining relation between $B^{(mu)}$ and $R^{(mu)}$ to show that the same addition operation performed on a one-parameter family of diffusions ${X^{(alpha,mu)}}_{alphain{mathbf R}_+}$ yields the same diffusion $R^{(mu)}$. Recently we obtained an exponential analogue of the Rogers-Pitman result. Here we exploit again the corresponding intertwining relationship to yield a one-parameter family extension of our result.
