Abstract

We prove a central limit theorem for the super-Brownian motion with immigration governed by another super-Brownian. The limit theorem leads to Gaussian random fields in dimensions d ≥ 3. For d = 3 the field is spatially uniform; for d ≥ 5 its covariance is given by the potential operator of the underlying Brownian motion; and for d = 4 it involves a mixture of the two kinds of fluctuations.
