Abstract
This paper concerns the density of the Hartman–Watson law. Yor (Z Wahrsch Verw Gebiete 53:71–95, 1980) obtained an integral formula that gives a closed-form expression of the Hartman–Watson density. In this paper, based on Yor’s formula, we provide alternative integral representations for the density. As an immediate application, we recover in part a result of Dufresne (Adv Appl Probab 33:223–241, 2001) that exhibits remarkably simple representations for the laws of exponential additive functionals of Brownian motion.
