摘要: Let {Zn}n0 be a critical or subcritical d-dimensional branching random walk started from a Poisson random measure whose intensity measure is the Lebesugue measure on Rd. Denote by Rn:=sup{u>0:Zn({xRd:|x|<u})=0} the radius of the largest empty ball centered at the origin of Zn. In this work, we prove that after suitable renormalization, Rn converges in law to some non-degenerate distribution as n. Furthermore, our work shows that the renormalization scales depend on the offspring law and the dimension of the branching random walk. This completes the results of Révész [13] for the critical binary branching Wiener process.

Abstract: Let {Zn}n0 be a critical or subcritical d-dimensional branching random walk started from a Poisson random measure whose intensity measure is the Lebesugue measure on Rd. Denote by Rn:=sup{u>0:Zn({xRd:|x|<u})=0} the radius of the largest empty ball centered at the origin of Zn. In this work, we prove that after suitable renormalization, Rn converges in law to some non-degenerate distribution as n. Furthermore, our work shows that the renormalization scales depend on the offspring law and the dimension of the branching random walk. This completes the results of Révész [13] for the critical binary branching Wiener process.
