The support of measure-valued branching processes in a random environment (Q1917198)

A one-dimensional super-Brownian motion in a catalytic medium (random but constant in time) is considered. More precisely, the catalysts are given by an infinitely divisible random measure on \(\mathbb{R}\) with independent increments. Sufficient conditions are given for the global support of the process to be compact, or non-compact, respectively. For instance, it is compact if the catalysts are stable and the initial measure has compact support. On the other hand, if the catalysts are ``very rarified'', the global support is non-compact. Here the catalysts might even be dense in \(\mathbb{R}\).
