Abstract
We calculate the mean and almost-sure leading order behaviour of the high frequency asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function associated with the natural Dirichlet form on alpha-stable trees, which lead in turn to short-time heat kernel asymptotics for these random structures. In particular, the conclusions we obtain demonstrate that the spectral dimension of an alpha-stable tree is almost-surely equal to 2 alpha/(2 alpha-1), matching that of certain related discrete models. We also show that the exponent for the second term in the asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalue counting function is no greater than 1/(2 alpha-1). To prove our results, we adapt a self-similar fractal argument previously applied to the continuum random tree, replacing the decomposition of the continuum tree at the branch point of three suitably chosen vertices with a recently developed spinal decomposition for alpha-stable trees.
