Exit densities of Super--Brownian motion as extreme X-harmonic functions
Abstract
Let be a super-Brownian motion (SBM) defined on a domain and be its exit measures indexed by sub-domains of . The relationship between the equation 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 -harmonic functions which are functions on the space of finite measures supported in a domain of 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 , and we investigate exit densities of SBM, a certain family of harmonic functions, , indexed by finite measures on , 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 being equal to . can be thought as the analogue of the Poisson kernel for Brownian motion. It is well known that Poisson kernel for a smooth domain is equivalent to the so called Martin kernel, the class of extreme harmonic functions for . We show that a similar result is true for Super-Brownian motion as well, that is is extreme for almost all with respect to a certain measure.
