Review text

At the beginning of investigations in spatially homogeneous branching processes in Euclidean space [see \textit{A. Liemant}, Wiss. Z. Friedrich-Schiller-Univ. Jena, Math.-naturw. R. 18, 361-372 (1969; Zbl 0265.60082)] it seemed to be obvious that the existence of equilibria implies criticality of branching. This prejudice was disproved by the example of \textit{Ra. Siegmund-Schultze} [Math. Nachr. 151, 101-120 (1991; Zbl 0739.60077)] of a subcritical spatially homogeneous branching equilibrium in dimension one. Let \((G,\rho_G)\) be an Abelian locally compact Hausdorff topological group \(G\) with a countable base and with a metric \(\rho_G\). It is proved that supercritical spatially homogeneous branching processes with the phase space \((G,\rho_G)\) (in particular in Euclidean space \(\mathbb R^n\)) have no (non-void, homogeneous) equilibria.
