We demonstrate that there are almost-surely logarithmic global fluctuations and log-logarithmic local fluctuations in the volume of balls of radius $r$ about the leading order polynomial term as $r\\to0$. We also show that the on-diagonal part of the heat kernel exhibits corresponding global and local fluctuations as $t\\to0$ almost-surely. Finally, we prove that this quenched (almost-sure) behaviour contrasts with the local annealed (averaged over all realisations of the tree) volume and heat kernel behaviour, which is smooth.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-01-04T10:52:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuum random tree", "heat kernel estimates", "volume growth", "heat kernel behaviour", "almost-surely logarithmic global fluctuations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....12585C" } } }
