Abstract:

This paper studies the topological and connectivity properties of the level sets of additive Brownian motion. More precisely, for each excursion set of this process from a fixed level, we give an explicit construction of a closed Jordan curve contained in the boundary of this excursion set, and in particular, in the level set of this process.
