| The complement of the planar Brownian path |
Take a planar Brownian path, run until it exits the unit ball. The
complement of the path consists of many components, and we can ask
about their general shape. The talk will describe joint work with
Yuval
Peres, in which we show that the components are round, in the sense
that their areas are comparable to the square of their diameters. More
formally, we show that for every 
,

and only if

i-th component, and Ri is its diameter.
