Abstract: In this paper, we study the tail behavior of as Noinfty, with (Wi,ileqN) i.i.d. Brownian motions and WA an independent Brownian motion. This random variable can be seen as the maximum of N mutually dependent Brownian queues, which in turn can be interpreted as the backlog in a Brownian fork-join queue. In previous work, we have shown that this random variable centers around . Here, we analyze the rare-event that this random variable reaches the value , with a>0. It turns out that its probability behaves roughly as a power law with N, where the exponent depends on a. However, there are three regimes, around a critical point astar; namely, 0<a<astar, a=astar, and a>astar. The latter regime exhibits a form of asymptotic independence, while the first regime reveals highly irregular behavior with a clear dependence structure among the N suprema, with a nontrivial transition at a=astar.
