Let be the unit disc and normalize its positive Poisson kernel at the boundary point by
It is harmonic in . Let be the killed Brownian transition density, for planar Brownian motion with generator . The Doob h-transform has sub-Markov transition density
Its missing mass represents paths already absorbed at the distinguished boundary point. Equivalently, for a stopping time before exit from a compact subdomain, its law is weighted relative to ordinary killed Brownian motion by . These stopped laws are consistent and define a diffusion up to its lifetime. Its generator is
This is a rigorous Brownian motion conditioned to exit at a boundary point, not conditioning on an event of positive probability. Exhaustion of shows that its terminal boundary limit is ; its lifetime is finite. For example its expected lifetime from is , which is finite: the Green function vanishes linearly near the smooth boundary and cancels the Poisson-kernel singularity there, while its logarithmic singularity at is integrable.
One can also condition ordinary Brownian motion on exiting through an arc about , and then let its length decrease to zero. The conditional harmonic functions converge locally uniformly to . Thus their stopped conditional laws converge to this same diffusion. Both constructions specify the conditioning unambiguously.
By the Tonelli theorem and the planar Brownian transition density,
For ,
while for it is at most . Hence
