Résumé

In this paper, we construct a counter-example to a question by Cantelli, asking whether there exists a non-constant positive measurable function $\varphi$ such that for i.i.d. r.v. $X,Y$ of law $\mN(0,1)$, the r.v. $X+\varphi(X)\cdot Y$ is also Gaussian. For the construction that we propose, we introduce a new tool, the Brownian mass transport: the mass is transported by Brownian particles that are stopped in a specific way. This transport seems to be interesting by itself, turning out to be related to the Skorokhod and Stefan problems.
