Suppose $X=\{X_t, t\ge 0\}$ is a supercritical superprocess. Let $\phi$ be the non-negative eigenfunction of the mean semigroup of $X$ corresponding to the principal eigenvalue $\lambda>0$. Then $M_t(\phi)=e^{-\lambda t}\langle\phi,…

We consider a critical superprocess $\{X;\mathbf P_\mu\}$ with general spatial motion and spatially dependent stable branching mechanism with lowest stable index $\gamma_0 > 1$. We first show that, under some conditions, $\mathbf…

We consider a class of subcritical superprocesses $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ with general spatial motions and general branching mechanisms. We study the asymptotic behaviors of $\mathbf Q_{t,r}$, the distribution of $X_t$ conditioned on $X_{t+r}$…

In a previous work, we associated with any submartingale $X$ of class $(\Sigma)$, defined on a filtered probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P}, (\mathcal{F}_t)_{t \geq 0})$ satisfying some technical conditions, a…

We consider the density $X_t(x)$ of the critical $(\alpha,\beta)$-superprocess in $R^d$ with $\alpha\in (0,2)$ and $\beta<\frac \alpha d$. A recent result from PDE implies a dichotomy for the density: for fixed $x$, $X_t(x)>0$ a.s. on…

Given a positive random variable $X$, $X\ge0$ a.s., a null hypothesis $H_0:E(X)\le\mu$ and a random sample of infinite size of $X$, we construct test supermartingales for $H_0$, i.e. positive processes that are supermartingale if the null…

Given a sequence $(M^n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ of nonnegative martingales starting at $M^n_0=1$, we find a sequence of convex combinations $(\widetilde{M}^n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ and a limiting process $X$ such that…

We consider a supercritical branching process $Z_n$ in a stationary and ergodic random environment $\xi =(\xi_n)_{n\ge0}$. Due to the martingale convergence theorem, it is known that the normalized population size $W_n=Z_n/ (\mathbb E…

Let $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ be a markovian (resp. submarkovian) semigroup on some $\sigma$-finite measure space $(\Omega,\mu)$. We prove that its negative generator $A$ has a bounded $H^\infty(\Sigma_\theta)$ calculus on the weighted space…

We consider group measure space II$_1$ factors $M=L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from Bernoulli actions of ICC property (T) groups $\Gamma$ (more generally, of groups $\Gamma$ containing an infinite normal subgroup with relative…

We construct a class of superprocesses by taking the high density limit of a sequence of interacting-branching particle systems. The spatial motion of the superprocess is determined by a system of interacting diffusions, the branching…

Suppose that $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ has positive upper density, \[ \limsup_{|I| \to \infty} \frac{|A \cap I|}{|I|} = \delta > 0,\] and $P(t) \in \mathbb{R}[t]$ is a polynomial with no constant or linear term, or more generally a non-flat…

In this paper we establish some conditional limit theorems for some critical superprocesses $X=\{X_t, t\ge 0\}$. First we identify the rate of non-extinction. Then we show that, for a large class of functions $f$, conditioned on…

We study the set M(X) of full non-atomic Borel (finite or infinite) measures on a non-compact locally compact Cantor set X. For an infinite measure $\mu$ in M(X), the set $\mathfrak{M}_\mu = \{x \in X : {for any compact open set} U \ni x…

We consider a super-Brownian motion $\{X_t, t\geq 0\}$ in a random environment described by a centered Gaussian field $\{W(t,x),t\geq 0, x\in\mathbb{R}^d\}$ whose correlation function is given by $\mathcal{C} (x,y)(t \wedge s)$. The process…
