Abstract: We consider a class of branching processes with countably many types which we refer to as Lower Hessenberg branching processes. These are multitype Galton-Watson processes with typeset $mathcalX=0,1,2,dots$, in which individuals of type $i$ may give birth to offspring of type $jleqi+1$ only. For this class of processes, we study the set $S$ of fixed points of the progeny generating function. In particular, we highlight the existence of a continuum of fixed points whose minimum is the global extinction probability vector $$ and whose maximum is the partial extinction probability vector $$. In the case where $$, we derive a global extinction criterion which holds under second moment conditions, and when $$ we develop necessary and sufficient conditions for $$.
