Non-existence of several random fractals in Brownian motion and Brownian loop soup

Abstract

We develop a unified approach to establish the non-existence of three types of random fractals: (1) the pioneer triple points of the planar Brownian motion, answering an open question in [7], (2) the pioneer double cut points of the planar and three-dimensional Brownian motions, and (3) the double points on the boundaries of the clusters of the planar Brownian loop soup at the critical intensity, answering an open question in [39]. These fractals have the common feature that they are associated with an intersection or disconnection exponent which yields a Hausdorff dimension ``exactly zero''.
