Geometric Deviation From L\'evy's Occupation Time Arcsine Law

Abstract

We prove a geometric extension of L\'evy's occupation time arcsine law near a hypersurface on a Riemannian manifold. The deviation from the classic arcsine law is of the order of the square-root of the time horizon and is expressed explicitly in terms of the mean curvature of the hypersurface and the local time of the underlying standard Brownian motion.
