Minimal tubes of the sphere as the dimension grows: Volume and explosion of the mean exit time
Abstract
The mean exit time of a Brownian motion from a tube around a closed, minimal embedded n-dimen\-sional submanifold of the (n+m)-dimen\-sional sphere is studied, establishing two-sided bounds via radial transplant. In accordance with known results when n = 0 or m = 1, the mean exit time goes to infinity as n → ∞ and to 0 as m → ∞. Simultaneously, bounds for the volume of such tubes are derived and compared to Weyl's tube formula.
