Abstract

Let W(t), 0tT, be a Brownian motion in Rd, d=2,3. We say that x is a cut point for W if x=W(t) for some t(0,T) such that W[0,t) and W(t,T] are disjoint. In this work, we prove that a.s. the Minkowski content of the set of cut points for W exists and is finite and non-trivial.

Soit W(t), 0tT un mouvement brownien sur Rd, d=2,3. On dit que x est un point de coupure pour W si x=W(t) pour un certain t(0,T) tel que W[0,t) et W(t,T] sont disjoints. Dans cet article, nous montrons que le contenu de Minkowski de l’ensemble des points de coupure pour W existe p.s., et qu’il est p.s. fini et non trivial.
