On the differentiability of the local time of the ($1+\beta$)-stable super-Brownian motion

Abstract

We consider the local times of $(1+\beta )$-stable $d$-dimensional super-Brownian motion with $0<\beta <1$. Mytnik and Perkins (2003) proved that the local time, denoted by $L(t,x)$, is jointly continuous for $d=1$, whereas it is locally unbounded in $x$ for $d\ge 2$ where it exists. This paper strengthens the results of Mytnik and Perkins for $d=1$ by showing that when $X_0$ is atomless, $L(t,\cdot )$ is differentiable at every fixed deterministic point almost surely and is differentiable Lebesgue-a.e. However, with probability one, the local time is almost surely not differentiable at every spatial point simultaneously.
