The focus of this paper is on hitting probabilities of the non-centered Gaussian process $B^{H}+f$. It aims to highlight how each component $f$, $E$ and $F$ is involved in determining the upper and lower bounds of $\\mathbb{P}\\{(B^H+f)(E)\\cap F\\neq \\emptyset \\}$. When $F$ is a singleton and $f$ is a general measurable drift, some new estimates are obtained for the last probability by means of suitables Hausdorff measure and capacity of the graph $Gr_E(f)$. As application we deal with the issue of polarity of points for $(B^H+f)\\vert_E$ (the restriction of $B^H+f$ to the subset $E\\subset (0,\\infty)$).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-19T13:33:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J45", "60G17", "28A78" ], "keywords": [ "probability", "hitting probabilities", "deterministic drift", "drift regularity", "dimensional fractional brownian motion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
