We study first-passage properties for a particle that diffuses either inside or outside of generalized paraboloids, defined by y = a(x1 + · · ·+ xd−1) where p > 1, with absorbing boundaries. When the particle is inside the paraboloid, the survival probability S(t) generically decays as a stretched exponential, lnS ∼ −t(p−1)/(p+1), independent of the spatial dimension. For a particle outside the...
