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
Branching Brownian motion (BBM) has gained lots of attention in recent years in part due to its significance to the universality class of log-correlated fields and their extremal landscapes. Recently, J. Berestycki, K., Lubetzky, Mallein and Zeitouni obtained a description of the limiting point process of the extreme values and locations of BBM in dimensions 2 and higher; however, certain details of the extremal landscape of multidimensional BBM were washed out in that limit. In this talk, we describe a more precise limiting point process that recovers those details and gives rise to a new object in the study of BBM, what we call the extremal front. We then obtain a scaling limit for the extremal front. Joint work with Ofer Zeitouni.
