Multiple points of the Brownian sheet in critical dimensions

Abstract

It is well known that an $N$-parameter $d$-dimensional Brownian sheet has no $k$-multiple points when $(k-1)d>2kN$, and does have such points when $(k-1)d<2kN$. We complete the study of the existence of $k$-multiple points by showing that in the critical cases where $(k-1)d=2kN$, there are a.s. no $k$-multiple points.
