Capacity of the range of tree-indexed random walk

Abstract

By introducing a new measure for the infinite Galton-Watson process and providing estimates for (discrete) Green's functions on trees, we establish the asymptotic behavior of the capacity of critical branching random walks: in high dimensions $d\ge 7$, the capacity grows linearly; and in the critical dimension $d=6$, it grows asymptotically proportional to $\frac{n}{\log n}$.
