Slowdown for time inhomogeneous branching Brownian motion

Probability 2015-06-05 v1

Abstract

We consider the maximal displacement of one dimensional branching Brownian motion with (macroscopically) time varying profiles. For monotone decreasing variances, we show that the correction from linear displacement is not logarithmic but rather proportional to T1/3T^{1/3}. We conjecture that this is the worse case correction possible.
