AbstractWe show that under some slight assumptions, the positive sojourn time of a product of symmetric processes converges towards ½ as the number of processes increases. Monotony properties are then exhibited in the case of symmetric stable processes, and used, via a recurrence relation, to obtain upper and lower bounds on the moments of the occupation time (in the first and third quadrants) for two-dimensional Brownian motion. Explicit values are also given for the second and third moments in then-dimensional Brownian case.
