Abstract

It has been known for a few years that the occupation measure of several models of embedded trees converges, after a suitable normalization, to the random measure called ISE (integrated SuperBrownian excursion). Here, we prove a local version of this result: ISE has a (random) Hölder continuous density, and the vertical profile of embedded trees converges to this density, at least for some such trees.

As a consequence, we derive a formula for the distribution of the density of ISE at a given point. This follows from earlier results by Bousquet-Mélou on convergence of the vertical profile at a fixed point.

We also provide a recurrence relation defining the moments of the (random) moments of ISE.
