Abstract

Let (Zn)(Z_n) be a supercritical branching process in a random environment ξ=(ξn)\xi = (\xi_n). We establish a Berry-Esseen bound and a Cram\'er's type large deviation expansion for logZn\log Z_n under the annealed law P\mathbb P. We also improve some earlier results about the harmonic moments of the limit variable W=limnWnW=lim_{n\to \infty} W_n, where Wn=Zn/EξZnW_n =Z_n/ \mathbb{E}_{\xi} Z_n is the normalized population size.
