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
Where are the faraway particles of the branching Brownian motion in dimension d?
Branching Brownian motion is a model in which independent particles move as Brownian motions and branch at rate 1. Its behavior, and in particular the description of what happens near its extremal particles (the ones furthest away from the origin) is by now well understood in
dimension 1. By contrast, not much is known about the multidimensional case.
In this talk I will present the first step towards the goal of obtaining the limiting extremal point process for the branching Brownian motion in
higher dimensions. This involves in particular finding an analogue of the so-called derivative martingale, which plays a crucial role in d=1,
and studying its convergence.
Based on a joint work with Bastien Mallein (Université Paris 13).
