Pitman transforms and Brownian motion in the interval viewed as an affine alcove

Pitman's theorem states that if {Bt, t $\ge$ 0} is a one-dimensional Brownian motion, then {Bt -- 2 inf s$\le$t Bs, t $\ge$ 0} is a three dimensional Bessel process, i.e. a Brownian motion conditioned in Doob sense to remain forever positive. In this paper one gives a similar representation for the Brownian motion in an interval. Due to the double barrier, it is much more involved and only asymptotic. This uses the fact that the interval is an alcove of the Affine Lie algebra A 1 1 .

The Matsumoto and Yor process and infinite dimensional hyperbolic space

The Matsumoto\,--Yor process is $\int\_0^t \exp(2B\_s-B\_t)\, ds$, where $(B\_t)$ is a Brownian motion. It is shown that it is the limit of the radial part of the Brownian motion at the bottom of the spectrum on the hyperbolic space of dimension $q$, when $q$ tends to infinity. Analogous processes on infinite series of non compact symmetric spaces and on regular trees are described.

Continuous crystals and Duistermaat-Heckman measure for Coxeter groups

We introduce a notion of continuous crystal analogous, for general Coxeter groups, to the combinatorial crystals introduced by Kashiwara in representation theory of Lie algebras. We use a generalization of the Littelmann path model to show the existence of the crystals, and study an associated Duistermaat-Heckman measure, which we interpret in terms of Brownian motion. We also show that the Littelmann path operators can be derived from simple considerations on Sturm-Liouville equations.

Littelmann paths and brownian paths

We study some path transformations related to Littelmann path model and their applications to representation theory and Brownian motion in a Weyl chamber.
