Ouaki–Pitman conjecture on the concave-majorant transform of Brownian motion

About 2 years old · traced to

Let BB be a one-dimensional Brownian motion on [0,∞)[0,\infty) and let KK be its almost surely existing concave majorant on [0,∞)[0,\infty). Ouaki–Pitman conjecture. The process 2K−B2K-B has the law of the BES⁡(5)\operatorname{BES}(5) process. This conjecture is the analogue for concave majorants of Pitman’s 2M−B2M-B theorem, which identifies the corresponding transform using the running maximum with the BES⁡(3)\operatorname{BES}(3) process. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
