Abstract
In this paper we study the recurrence and transience of the -valued branching random walk in random environment indexed by a critical Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson tree, conditioned to survive. The environment is made either of random conductances or of random traps on each vertex. We show that when the offspring distribution is non degenerate with a finite third moment and the environment satisfies some suitable technical assumptions, then the process is recurrent up to dimension four, and transient otherwise. The proof is based on a truncated second moment method, which only requires to have good estimates on the quenched Green's function.
