Asymptotic behaviours of critical branching random walk in $\mathbb{R}^d$
Abstract
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviours of a critical branching random walk in under the assumption that the offspring distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an -stable law with , and that the jump distribution has a finite -th moment. First, we establish the precise decay rate for the tail probability of the all-time maximal displacement . Next, we investigate the maximal displacement at generation and prove a conditional limit theorem for the distribution of given that the process survives up to generation . These results extend the corresponding 1-dimensional results of Lalley and Shao (2015) to the case . Finally, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the total progeny . In particular, we show that, conditioned on the event , converges in distribution under an appropriate normalization. This result reveals a quantitative relationship between the maximal displacement and the total progeny size.
