Level Sets of Multiparameter Brownian Motions
Thomas S. Mountford (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne)
Abstract
We use Girsanov's theorem to establish a conjecture of Khoshnevisan, Xiao and Zhong that $\phi(r) = r^{N-d/2} (\log \log (\frac{1}{r}))^{d/2}$ is the exact Hausdorff measure function for the zero level set of an $N$-parameter $d$-dimensional additive Brownian motion. We extend this result to a natural multiparameter version of Taylor and Wendel's theorem on the relationship between Brownian local time and the Hausdorff $\phi$-measure of the zero set.
