Slow points in the support of historical Brownian motion (Q1897173): Difference between revisions

Consider a binary branching Brownian motion on the time interval \([0,1]\) where the life time of a particle born at time \(\tau\) is (conditionally) uniform on \([\tau,1]\) [cf. reviewer and \textit{R. Siegmund-Schultze}, Serdica 4, 111-134 (1978; Zbl 0438.60072)]. The existence of slow paths is shown, that is, paths that at time 1 have unusually small oscillations from the left. Roughly speaking, the path with the slowest oscillation at time \(t = 1\) has \(\sqrt {1 - t}\) as an upper function (opposed to the local LIL of Brownian motion at a fixed time). Consequently, the support of historical super-Brownian motion at time 1 has such slow paths. The source of this effect is the fact, that uncountably many Brownian paths are involved. This behavior is related to the well-known existence of slow oscillations of Brownian motion at exceptional (random) times.
