Time spent in a ball by a critical branching random walk

Abstract

We study a critical branching random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$. We focus on the tail of the time spent in a ball, and our study, in dimension four and higher, sheds new light on the recent result of Angel, Hutchcroft and Jarai, in particular on the special features of the critical dimension four. Finally, we analyse the number of walks transported by the branching random walk on the boundary of a distant ball.
