Some properties of the range of super-Brownian motion (Q1303815)

Let \(X_t\), \(t\geq 0\), be a super-Brownian motion. The range of super-Brownian motion after time \(t>0\), \({\mathcal R}_t(X)\), is defined as the closure of \(\bigcup_{s\geq t} \operatorname{supp} X_s\). Let, further, \(f: [0,\infty)\rightarrow [0,\infty]\) be a decreasing function. The energy of a Radon measure \(\nu\) on \(R^d\) with respect to the kernel \(f\) is \({\mathcal F}_f(\nu)=\int\int f(|x-y|)\nu (dx) \nu (dy)\), and the capacity of a set \(\Lambda\subset R^d\) is \(\operatorname{cap}_f(\Lambda)= [\inf_{\nu (\Lambda)=1}{\mathcal F}_f(\nu)]^{-1}\). Two sets \(\Lambda_1\) and \(\Lambda_2\) are capacity-equivalent if there exist two positive constants \(c\) and \(C\) such that for every kernel \(f\) \[ c \operatorname{cap}_f(\Lambda_1)\leq \operatorname{cap}_f(\Lambda_2)\leq C \operatorname{cap}_f(\Lambda_1). \] It is shown that the support of \(X_t\) is capacity-equivalent to \([0,1]^2\) in \(R^d\), \(d\geq 3\), and the range of \(X\), as well as the support of the integrated super-Brownian excursion are capacity-equivalent to \([0,1]^4\) in \(R^d\), \(d\geq 5\). The proof is based on the representation of the canonical measures of super-Brownian motions by the Brownian snake.
