ABSTRACT
We study the correlations between the maxima m and M of a Brownian motion (BM) on the time intervals [0,t_{1}] and [0,t_{2}], with t_{2}>t_{1}. We determine the exact forms of the distribution functions P(m,M) and P(G=M-m), and calculate the moments E{(M-m)^{k}} and the cross-moments E{m^{l}M^{k}} with arbitrary integers l and k. We show that correlations between m and M decay as sqrt[t_{1}/t_{2}] when t_{2}/t_{1}â∞, revealing strong memory effects in the statistics of the BM maxima. We also compute the Pearson correlation coefficient ρ(m,M) and the power spectrum of M_{t}, and we discuss a possibility of extracting the ensemble-averaged diffusion coefficient in single-trajectory experiments using a single realization of the maximum process.
