Abstract

Let p(x, y) be the transition probability of an isotropic random walk on a tree, where each site has d [greater-or-equal, slanted]3 neighbors. We define a branching random walk by letting a particle at site x give birth to a new particle at site y at rate [lambda]dp(x, y), jump to y at rate vdp(x, y), and die at rate [delta]. Let [lambda]2 (respectively, [mu]2) be the infimum of [lambda] such that the process starting with one particle has positive probability of surviving forever (respectively, of having a fixed site occupied at arbitrarily large times). We compute [lambda]2 and [mu]2 exactly, proving that [lambda]2
