Consider a catalytic super-Brownian motion $X=X^\Gamma$ with finite variance branching. Here `catalytic' means that branching of the reactant $X$ is only possible in the presence of some catalyst. Our intrinsic example of a catalyst is a…

We will extend a recent result of B.Choi, P.Daskalopoulos and J.King. For any $n\ge 3$, $0<m<\frac{n-2}{n+2}$ and $\gamma>0$, we will construct subsolutions and supersolutions of the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\frac{n-1}{m}\Delta u^m$ in…
