Conformal non-removability of the Brownian graph
Abstract
We prove that the graph of a standard one-dimensional Brownian motion, ΓB={(t,Bt):t ∈ [0,1]}, is almost surely not conformally removable. This resolves the question left open by Doherty and Miller in their study of the Sobolev removability of the Brownian graph~\cite{DM26}. We also construct non-removable α-Hölder graphs for every α∈ (0,2/3), including the previously open range α∈ [1/2, 2/3). Together with the known removability result for α>2/3, this identifies 2/3 as the threshold for conformal removability of Hölder graphs.
