Inverting the Ray-Knight identity on the line (1910.06836v2)

Abstract: Using a divergent Bass-Burdzy flow we construct a self-repelling one-dimensional diffusion. Heuristically, it can be interpreted as a solution to an SDE with a singular drift involving a derivative of the local time. We show that this self-repelling diffusion inverts the second Ray-Knight identity on the line. The proof goes through an approximation by a self-repelling jump processes that has been previously shown by the authors to invert the Ray-Knight identity in the discrete.
