Absolute continuity of catalytic measure-valued branching processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Classical super-Brownian motion (SBM) is known to take values in the space of absolutely continuous measures only if d=1. For d¿2 its values are almost surely singular with respect to Lebesgue measure. This result has been generalized to more general motion laws and branching laws (yielding di erent critical dimensions) and also to catalytic SBM. In this paper we study the case of a catalytic measure-valued branching process in R with a Feller process as motion process, where the branching rate is given by a continuous additive functional of , and where also the (critical) branching law may vary in space and time. We provide a simple su cient condition for absolute continuity of the values of this process. This criterion is sharp for the classical cases. As a partial converse we also give a su cient condition for singularity of the states. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: primary 60G30; 60K35; secondary 60H15; 60G57

Catalytic and Mutually Catalytic Branching
In this paper we present an overview of recent work on lattice and measure-valued models of catalytic reactions and in particular catalytic branching systems. The main phenomena exhibited by nearly critical branching systems are dimension-dependent clumping in small and large space and time scales. Special emphasis is given to the e ects which occur when the catalyst is highly clumped and in pa...

A generalized Mehler semigroup (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup) associated with some strongly continuous semigroup of linear operators on a real separable Hilbert space may be defined by using a skew convolution semigroup. Under a mild moment assumption, it is proved that the characteristic functional of any centered skew convolution semigroup is absolutely continuous and characterizations are gi...
متن کاملJump-type Fleming-viot Processes
In 1991 Perkins [7] showed that the normalized critical binary branching process is a time inhomogeneous Fleming-Viot process. In the present paper we extend this result to jump-type branching processes and we show that the normalized jump-type branching processes are in a new class of probability measure-valued processes which will be called “jump-type Fleming-Viot processes”. Furthermore we a...
متن کاملSuperprocesses with Coalescing Brownian Spatial Motion as Large-Scale Limits
Large scale limits of interacting particle systems and measure-valued processes have been studied by many authors; see, e.g., Bojdecki and Gorostiza (1986), Cox et al. (2000), Dawson (1977), Dawson and Fleischmann (1988), Durrett and Perkins (1999), Hara and Slade (2000a,b). In particular, Dawson and Fleischmann (1988) investigated the scaling limit of a class of critical space-time branching m...
متن کاملPoisson Representations of Branching Markov and Measure-valued Branching Processes By
Representations of branching Markov processes and their measurevalued limits in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a “level,” but unlike earlier constructions, the levels change with time. In fact, death of a particle occurs only when the level of the particle crosses a specified level...
