Abstract:
Brownian motion with stochastic resetting-a process combining standard diffusion with random returns to a fixed position-has emerged as a powerful framework with applications spanning statistical physics, chemical kinetics, biology, and finance. In this study, we investigate the mutual correlations among three global characteristic times for one-dimensional resetting Brownian motion x(τ) over the interval τ∈[0,t]: the occupation time t_{o} spent on the positive semiaxis, the time t_{m} at which x(τ) attains its global maximum, and the last-passage time t_{ℓ} when the process crosses the origin. For the process starting from the origin and undergoing Poissonian resetting back to the origin, we analytically compute the pairwise joint distributions of these three times (in the Laplace domain) and derive their pairwise correlation coefficients. Our results reveal that these global times display rich correlations, with a nontrivial dependence on the resetting rate r. Specifically, we find that (i) while t_{o} and t_{ℓ}^{m} are uncorrelated for any positive integer m, t_{o}^{2} and t_{ℓ}^{m} display anticorrelation, (ii) a positive correlation exists between t_{o} and t_{m}, which decays toward zero following a logarithmically corrected power law with an exponent of -2 as r→∞, and (iii) the correlation between t_{m} and t_{ℓ} shifts from positive to negative as r increases. All analytical predictions are validated by extensive numerical simulations.
