Abstract

We consider a branching Brownian motion in Rd. We prove that there exists a random subset Θ of Sd1 of full measure such that the limit of the derivative martingale exists simultaneously for all directions θΘ almost surely. This allows us to define a random measure on Sd1 whose density is given by the derivative martingale.

The proof is based on first moment arguments: we approximate the martingale of interest by a series of processes, which do not take into account particles that travelled too far away. We show that these new processes are uniformly integrable martingales whose limits can be made to converge to the limit of the original martingale.

On considère un mouvement brownien branchant dans Rd. Nous montrons qu’il existe presque sûrement un sous-ensemble aléatoire Θ de Sd1 de mesure pleine tel que la limite de la martingale dérivée existe simultanément pour toutes les directions θΘ. Cela nous permet de définir une mesure aléatoire sur Sd1 dont la densité est donnée par la martingale dérivée.

La preuve est basée sur des arguments de premier moment : nous approchons les martingales d’intérêt par une série de processus, qui ne prennent pas en compte les particules qui ont voyagé trop loin. Nous montrons que ces nouveaux processus sont des martingales uniformément intégrables dont les limites convergent vers les limites des martingales d’origine.
