Abstract

We present and study the Pool model in R2\mathbb{R}^2, a rotationally symmetric analogue of Multi-Particle Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (MDLA), in which particles ("droplets") perform continuous-time random walks and are absorbed upon entering a circular pool initially centered at the origin. Each absorbed particle increases the pool's mass, and the pool expands so that its area grows accordingly, yielding a natural mass-preserving dynamics. A central tool which is of independent interest is a version of Kurtz's theorem for this model, depicting the field of particles conditioned on the growth of the pool as an independent non-homogeneous Poisson point process.
