We derive the asymptotic behavior of the total occupation measure of the unit ball for super-Brownian motion started from the Dirac measure at a distant point and conditioned to hit the unit ball. In the critical dimension 4, we obtain…

We consider a branching random walk on $R$ with a killing barrier at zero. At criticality, the process becomes eventually extinct, and the total progeny $Z$ is therefore finite. We show that $P(Z>n)$ is of order  $(n\ln^2(n))^{-1}$, which confirms the…

We use the concept of unimodular random graph to show that the branching simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ indexed by a critical geometric Galton-Watson tree conditioned to survive is recurrent if and only if $d \leq 4$.

We study a branching Brownian motion (BBM) with absorption, in which particles move as Brownian motions with drift $-\rho$, undergo dyadic branching at rate $\beta>0$, and are killed on hitting the origin. In the case $\rho>\sqrt{2\beta}$ the extinction time for…

It is well known that a simple, supercritical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process turns into a subcritical such process, if conditioned to die out. We prove that the corresponding holds true for general, multi-type branching, where child-bearing may occur at different ages, life…

Recently, Abraham and Delmas constructed the distributions of super-critical Lévy trees truncated at a fixed height by connecting super-critical Lévy trees to (sub)critical Lévy trees via a martingale transformation. A similar relationship also holds for discrete Galton-Watson trees. In this…
