Abstract: For a one-dimensional super-Brownian motion with density X(t,x), we construct a random measure Lt called the boundary local time which is supported on partialx:X(t,x)=0=:BZt, thus confirming a conjecture of Mueller, Mytnik and Perkins (2017). Lt is analogous to the local time at 0 of solutions to an SDE. We establish first and second moment formulas for Lt, some basic properties, and a representation in terms of a cluster decomposition. Via the moment measures and the energy method we give a more direct proof that extdim(BZt)=2−2lambda0>0 with positive probability, a recent result of Mueller, Mytnik and Perkins (2017), where −lambda0 is the lead eigenvalue of a killed Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator that characterizes the left tail of X(t,x). In a companion work, the author and Perkins use the boundary local time and some of its properties proved here to show that extdim(BZt)=2−2lambda0 a.s. on Xt(mathbbR)>0.
