Radial Dunkl processes: Existence, uniqueness and hitting time

We give shorter proofs of the following known results: the radial Dunkl process associated with a reduced system and a strictly positive multiplicity function is the unique strong solution for all times t of a stochastic differential equation with a singular drift, the first hitting time of the Weyl chamber by a radial Dunkl process is finite almost surely for small values of the multiplicity function. The proof of the first result allows one to give a positive answer to a conjecture announced by Gallardo-Yor while that of the second shows that the process hits almost surely the wall corresponding to the simple root with a small multiplicity value.
