In this paper we examine properties of $B+f$ when $f \\notin D$. We start by establishing a general 0-1 law, which in particular implies that for any fixed $f$, the Hausdorff dimension of the image and the graph of $B+f$ are constants a.s. (This 0-1 law applies to any L\\'evy process.) Then we show that if the function $f$ is H\\\"older$(1/2)$, then $B+f$ is intersection equivalent to $B$. Moreover, $B+f$ has double points a.s. in dimensions $d\\le 3$, while in $d\\ge 4$ it does not. We also give examples of functions which are H\\\"older with exponent less than $1/2$, that yield double points in dimensions greater than 4. Finally, we show that for $d \\ge 2$, the Hausdorff dimension of the image of $B+f$ is a.s. at least the maximum of 2 and the dimension of the image of $f$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-10-14T17:33:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hausdorff dimension", "hitting probabilities", "variable drift", "standard brownian motion", "double points" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.2987P" } } }
