Considering a simple symmetric random walk in dimension d ≧ 3, we study the almost sure joint asymptotic behavior of two objects: first the local times of a pair of neighboring points, then the local time of a point and the occupation time of the surface of the unit ball around it.

We show that Pitman’s theorem relating Brownian motion and the BES (3) process, as well as the Ray-Knight theorems for Brownian local times remain valid, mutatis mutandis, under the limiting laws of Brownian motion penalized by a function of its one-sided maximum.
We describe the limit laws, as t → ∞, of a Bessel process ( R s , s ≦ t ) of dimension d ∈ (0, 2) penalized by an integrable function of its local time L t at 0, thus extending our previous work of this kind, relative to Brownian motion.
