More precisely, let $B$ and $B'$ be independent planar Brownian motions started from distinct points, and define the exponent $ξ(1, λ)$ by $$ E[P[B[0,t] \cap B'[0,t] = \emptyset | B[0,t]]^λ] \approx t^{-ξ(1, λ)/2}, t \to \infty. $$ Then the mapping $λ\mapsto ξ(1, λ)$ is real analytic in $(0,\infty)$. The same result is proved for the exponents $ξ(k, λ)$ where $k$ is a positive integer. In combination with the determination of $ξ(k, λ)$ for integer $k \ge 1$ and real $λ\ge 1$ in our previous papers, this gives the value of $ξ(k, λ)$ also for $λ\in (0,1)$ and the disconnection exponents $\lim_{λ\searrow 0} ξ(k, λ)$. In particular, it shows that $\lim_{λ\searrow 0} ξ(2, λ) = 2/3$ and concludes the proof of the following result that had been conjectured by Mandelbrot: the Hausdorff dimension of the outer boundary of $B[0,1]$ is 4/3 almost surely.ProbabilityMathematical Physics60J65; 82B26text
