Abstract

Let B α = {B α(t), t ∈ ℝN} be an (N, d)-fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index α ∈ (0, 1). By applying the strong local nondeterminism of B α, we prove certain forms of uniform Hausdorff dimension results for the images of B α when N >αd. Our results extend those of Kaufman for one-dimensional Brownian motion.
