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 the question of whether there exist double points on the boundaries of clusters in Brownian loop-soups — an object introduced by Lawler and Werner in 2004. This question is closely related to our earlier works (with Werner) on the decomposition of Brownian loop-soup clusters. More concretely, we introduce a notion of disconnection exponents which generalizes the Brownian disconnection exponents derived by Lawler, Schramm and Werner in 2001. By computing the generalized disconnection exponents, we can predict the dimension of multiple points on the cluster boundaries in loop-soups. However, for the critical intensity of loop-soup, the dimension of double points on the cluster boundaries appears to be zero, leaving the open problem of whether such points exist for the critical loop-soup.
