OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Reflected Brownian motion in generalised parabolic domains
This talk will describe the long-time behaviour of driftless reflected diffusions in unbounded domains of generalised parabolic type. Asymptotically normal reflection leads to the reflected diffusion exhibiting phenomena ranging from transience to polynomial ergodicity. If the reflection is asymptotically oblique, there is a natural dichotomy according to whether it is pointing “away from” (—>) or “towards” (<—) the origin. In the case (—>), we characterise explosion and almost sure superdiffusivity of the process, including a second-order CLT-type result in the superdiffusive case. In the case (<—), we characterise phenomena ranging from sub-exponential to uniform ergodicity. In the uniformly ergodic case, the reflected process can be started from infinity (with an “infinite amount” of local time at time zero). All of the criteria for these stochastic phenomena are in terms of the asymptotic behaviour at infinity of the model parameters. This is joint work with Miha Bresar, Juan Pablo Chavez Ochoa, Mikhail Menshikov, Isao Sauzedde and Andrew Wade.
