Coalescence in small generations for the diffusive randomly biased walk on Galton-Watson trees
Abstract
We investigate the range of the diffusive biased walk on a Galton-Watson tree in random environment, that is to say the sub-tree of of all distinct vertices visited by this walk up to the time . We study the volume of the range with constraints and more precisely the number of -tuples () of distinct vertices in this sub-tree, in small generations and satisfying an hereditary condition. A special attention is paid to the vertices visited during distinct excursions of above the root of the Galton-Watson tree as we observe they give the major contribution to this range. As an application, we study the genealogy of distinct vertices of the tree picked uniformly from those in small generations. It turns out that two or more vertices among them share a common ancestor for the last time in the remote past. We also point out an hereditary character in their genealogical tree due to the random environment.
