During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
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.
