Branching Brownian motion (BBM) is a classical object in probability theory with deep connections to partial differential equations. This book highlights the connection to classical extreme value theory and to the theory of mean-field spin glasses in statistical mechanics. Starting with a concise review of classical extreme value statistics and a basic introduction to mean-field spin glasses, the author then focuses on branching Brownian motion. Here, the classical results of Bramson on the asymptotics of solutions of the F-KPP equation are reviewed in detail and applied to the recent construction of the extremal process of BBM. The extension of these ... Read more

Reviews for Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics: Series Number 163: Gaussian Processes on Trees: From Spin Glasses to Branching Brownian Motion
'The text is a very well-written presentation of the motivations and recent developments in the study of the extreme process of the BBM. This provides a perfect guide for any researcher interested in this field, especially those who are looking for a relatively quick introduction.' Bastien Mallein, Mathematical Reviews 'When discussing most of the questions, the author pays good attention ... Read more
