BGW.ContinuumTrees.BrownianBridgeGrid

Finite grids of the Brownian bridge #

The grid has n + 1 times i / (n + 1), including zero and excluding one. Its centered cyclic rotations have the same law, as proved directly from the Gaussian finite-dimensional distributions. Distinct grid values are almost surely unequal. Thus the probability that all grid values are nonnegative is 1 / (n + 1), which proves that the continuous bridge has negative minimum.

No assertion about uniqueness of the continuous minimum, or identification of the Vervaat image with the classical excursion law, is used here.

      Centered cyclic rotations of the grid have the same law. This invariance is derived from Gaussian means and covariances; it is not an assumption on the bridge.

      All distinct values on the grid are almost surely unequal.

      The grid has a unique minimizing index almost surely, including the one-point grid.

      Exact finite-grid positivity probability; the duplicate value at time one is excluded.

      The continuous bridge has a strictly negative global minimum almost surely. The conclusion excludes both deterministic zero endpoints as minimizers.
