 Power-map reduction for Brownian exit from a wedge

The map $z\mapsto z^{\pi /\alpha }$ takes a wedge of opening $\alpha$ to a half-plane and the circular boundary of radius $r$ to radius $r^{\pi /\alpha }$. Conformal invariance of planar Brownian motion preserves which boundary part is reached first, although it changes the clock. Use the branch defined by the wedge argument; the origin is a polar point for planar Brownian motion, so localization handles the vertex.
