Branching Brownian motion with "mild" Poissonian obstacles

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is Brownian motion and the branching is affected by a random collection of reproduction blocking sets called "mild" obstacles. We show that the quenched local growth rate is given by the branching rate in the `free' region . When the underlying motion is an arbitrary diffusion process, we obtain a dichotomy for the local growth that is independent of the Poissonian intensity. Finally, and most importantly, we obtain the asymptotics (in probability) of the quenched (when d2d\le 2) and the annealed (arbitrary d) global growth rates, and identify subexponential correction terms.
