Abstract of the Talk
Consider 2 or 3-dimensional Brownian motion. We prove that the Minkowski content of the set of its cut points is a.s. finite and non-trivial. If time permits, I will also explain how we identify the Minkowski content with the scaling limit of the counting measure of pivotal points for percolation on the triangular lattice in the 2-dimensional case. This is a joint project with Nina Holden, Greg Lawler and Xin Sun.
