OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We study a variant of two-dimensional branching Brownian motion (BBM) where the branching rate is inhomogeneous. Here we then study the maximum displacement, that is the maximal (Euclidean) distance of a particle to the origin. Compared to regular BBM, the order of the maximum includes polynomial correction terms which are much bigger than the usual logarithmic corrections. Our proof uses a mix of probabilistic and analytic methods. This is joint work with Julien Berestycki and Michel Pain.
