Extract

In 1950, Dvoretzky, Erdös and Kakutani [2] showed that in ℝ3 almost all paths of Brownian motion X have double points, or self-intersections of order 2 (there are no triple points [4]); later the same authors proved that almost all sample paths of Brownian motion in the plane have points of arbitrarily high multiplicity (a point x in ℝ2 is a k-tuple point for the path ω, or a self-intersection of order k, if there are times tl < t2 < … < tk such that x = X(t1, ω) = X(t2, ω) = … X(tk, ω)).
