a
Let τ=Tr​∧TR​. The function z↦log∣z∣ is a harmonic function on the annulus r<∣z∣<R, so Itô formula shows that
log∣Bt∧τ​∣
(1)
is a bounded martingale. By the optional sampling theorem for a supermartingale applied to this martingale,
log∣x∣=Ex​[log∣Bτ​∣]=plogr+(1−p)logR,
(2)
where p=Px​(Tr​<TR​). Solving gives the planar Brownian annulus hitting probability
Px​(Tr​<TR​)=logR−logrlogR−log∣x∣​.
