On L2 modulus of continuity of Brownian local times and Riesz potentials

Abstract

This article is concerned with modulus of continuity of Brownian local times. Specifically, we focus on three closely related problems: (a) Limit theorem for a Brownian modulus of continuity involving Riesz potentials, where the limit law is an intricate Gaussian mixture. (b) Central limit theorems for the projections of $L^{2}$ modulus of continuity for a one-dimensional Brownian motion. (c) Extension of the second result to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. Our proofs rely on a combination of stochastic calculus and Malliavin calculus tools, plus a thorough analysis of singular integrals.
