Transition density of a hyperbolic Bessel process

Abstract

We investigate the transition density of a hyperbolic Bessel process for integer dimensions and show a link between transition densities of a hyperbolic Brownian motion and a Bessel process in the same dimension. Using the so-called Millson’s formula for the densities of hyperbolic Brownian motion we also show a link between transition density of $n$-dimensional hyperbolic Bessel process and $2$-dimensional (if $n$ is even) or $3$-dimensional (if $n$ is odd) hyperbolic Brownian motion. This helps us to get explicit formulas for the Bessel process transition density.
