Recurrence and capacity of stable branching random walks
Abstract
We study the linear growth rate of the range of size-conditioned Branching Random Walks (BRW) when the offspring distribution μ is critical and attracted to an α-stable law. This is done via the infinite invariant BRW introduced by Le Gall & Lin and a new criterion which relates this growth rate of the range to a notion of dimension of the underlying tree in a general way. Then, in the transient case (that is, when the range does grow linearly), we extend the notion of branching capacity to this α-stable case. We show that it is still related to the asymptotic probability that a BRW (or its infinite version) reaches a distant set in ℤd, and we estimate the α-stable branching capacity of balls.
