Brownian exit-time ball averaging identity
ID: brownian-exit-time-ball-averaging-identity
Let , possibly infinite, and suppose the closed ball lies in the open set . A Strong Markov property decomposition at an independent random-radius exit time, using uniform ball sampling by Brownian stopping, gives the displayed identity in the nonnegative extended reals. Indeed the expected exit time from a radius- ball started at its centre is , and averaging this against gives . The identity gives local integrability whenever is finite.
