Abstract

The joint study of functionals of a Brownian motion $B$ and its Lévy transform $\beta= |B|-L$, where $L$ is the local time of $B$ at zero, is motivated by the conjectured ergodicity of the Lévy transform.

Here, we compute explicitly the covariance of the last zeros before time one of $B$ and $\beta$, which turns out to be strictly positive.
