On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
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.
