Deniz Sezer" ], "comment": "There is a mistake in one of the proofs", "categories": [ "math.PR" ], "abstract": "Let $X$ be a super-Brownian motion (SBM) defined on a domain $E\\subset R^n$ and $(X_D)$ be its exit measures indexed by sub-domains of $E$. The relationship between the equation $1/2 \\Delta u=2 u^2$ and Super-Brownian motion (SBM) is analogous to the relationship between Brownian motion and the Laplace's equation, and substantial progress has been made on the study of the solutions of this semi-linear p.d.e. exploring this analogy. An area that remains to be explored is Martin boundary theory. Martin boundary in the semi-linear case is defined as the convex set of extreme $X$-harmonic functions which are functions on the space of finite measures supported in a domain $E$ of $R^d$ and characterized by a mean value property with respect to the Super-Brownian law. So far no probabilistic construction of Martin boundary is known. In this paper, we consider a bounded smooth domain $D$, and we investigate exit densities of SBM, a certain family of $X$ harmonic functions, $H^{\\nu}$, indexed by finite measures $\\nu$ on $\\partial{D}$, These densities were first introduced by E.B. Dynkin and also identified by T.Salisbury and D. Sezer as the extended X-harmonic functions corresponding to conditioning SBM on its exit measure $X_D$ being equal to $\\nu$. $H^{\\nu}(\\mu)$ can be thought as the analogue of the Poisson kernel for Brownian motion. It is well known that Poisson kernel for a smooth domain $D$ is equivalent to the so called Martin kernel, the class of extreme harmonic functions for $D$. We show that a similar result is true for Super-Brownian motion as well, that is $H^{\\nu}$ is extreme for almost all $\\nu$ with respect to a certain measure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-06T22:56:59.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2019-10-18T22:07:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "super-brownian motion", "extreme x-harmonic functions", "exit densities", "finite measures", "exit measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.1351D" } } }
