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.
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.
