OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Space-inhomogeneous branching Brownian motion
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.
