Title: On the speed of a front for stochastic reaction-diffusion equations and the dual particle systems
Venue: Seminar Room.
Abstract:
We study the asymptotic speed of a random front for solutions to stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with multiplicative noise proportional to $\sigma$. We show existence of the speed of the front and derive its asymptotics as $\sigma$ goes to infinity. This also gives us information on the speed of propagation of the branching-coalescent system of Brownian motions with high rate of coalescence.
This is a joint work with C. Mueller and L. Ryzhik.

Title: Boundary of the super-Brownian motion
Venue: $L_\infty$ (5th Floor, Kolmogorov Bhavan)
Abstract:
We study the boundary of $d$-dimensional super-Brownian motion in dimensions $d\leq 3$. Super-Brownian motion is the measure-valued process that arises as a scaling limit of critical branching Brownian motions. It is well-known that in dimension $d=1$ the density of the super-Brownian is given by the unique in law solution of the SPDE \begin{eqnarray} \nonumber \frac{\partial X}{\partial t}= \frac12 \Delta X + \sqrt{X}\dot{W} \end{eqnarray} where $\dot{W}$ is the Gaussian space-time white noise. In dimension $d=1$, the Hausdorff dimension of the boundary of the zero set of $X_t$ is established for fixed times $t>0$. In dimensions $d\leq 3$ the boundary of the range of the super-Brownian motion is studied, and as a consequence we also establish results on the boundary of the Brownian motion indexed by the continuous random tree (CRT).
The talk is based on joint works with C.Mueller, E.Perkins and J. Hong.

Title: Regularity properties and the boundary of the super-Brownian motion
Venue: SSIU Seminar Hall, Second floor, Main building.
Abstract:
We study regularity properties and the boundary of $d$-dimensional super-Brownian motion in dimensions $d\leq 3$. Super-Brownian motion is the measure-valued process that arises as a scaling limit of critical branching Brownian motions. It is well-known that in dimension $d=1$ the density of the super-Brownian is given by the unique in law solution of the SPDE \begin{eqnarray} \nonumber \frac{\partial X}{\partial t}= \frac12 \Delta X + \sqrt{X}\dot{W} \end{eqnarray} where $\dot{W}$ is the Gaussian space-time white noise. We discuss the regularity properties of the density of the super-Brownian motion. In particular, the Hausdorff dimension of the boundary of the zero set of the density $X_t$ is established for fixed times $t>0$. In dimensions $d\leq 3$ the boundary of the range of the super-Brownian motion is studied, and as a consequence we also establish results on the boundary of the Brownian motion indexed by the continuous random tree (CRT).
