Survival and complete convergence for a branching annihilating random walk

Probability 2024-04-25 v3

Abstract

We study a discrete-time branching annihilating random walk (BARW) on the dd-dimensional lattice. Each particle produces a Poissonian number of offspring with mean μ\mu which independently move to a uniformly chosen site within a fixed distance RR from their parent's position. Whenever a site is occupied by at least two particles, all the particles at that site are annihilated. We prove that for any μ>1\mu>1 the process survives when RR is sufficiently large. For fixed RR we show that the process dies out if μ\mu is too small or too large. Furthermore, we exhibit an interval of μ\mu-values for which the process survives and possesses a unique non-trivial ergodic equilibrium for RR sufficiently large. We also prove complete convergence for that case.
