Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a nonelementary hyperbolic group with a word metric $d$ and $partialGamma$ its hyperbolic boundary equipped with a visual metric $d_a$ for some parameter $a>1$. Fix a superexponential symmetric probability $mu$ on $Gamma$ whose support generates $Gamma$ as a semigroup, and denote by $ho$ the spectral radius of the random walk $Y$ on $Gamma$ with step distribution $mu$. Let $u$ be a probability on $1,,2,,3,,ldots$ with mean $lambda=sumlimit{s}_{k=1}^{i}nftyku(k)<infty$. Let $mathrmBRW(Gamma,,u,,mu)$ be the branching random walk on $Gamma$ with offspring distribution $u$ and base motion $Y$ and $H(lambda)$ the volume growth rate for the trace of $mathrmBRW(Gamma,,u,,mu)$. We prove for $lambdain[1,,h{o}^{-1})$ that the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set $Lambda$, which is the random subset of $(partialGamma,,d_a)$ consisting of all accumulation points of the trace of $mathrmBRW(Gamma,,u,,mu)$, is given by $lo{g}_{a}H(lambda)$. Furthermore, we prove that $H(lambda)$ is almost surely a deterministic, strictly increasing and continuous function of $lambdain[1,,h{o}^{-1}]$, is bounded by the square root of the volume growth rate of $Gamma$, and has critical exponent $1/2$ at $h{o}^{-1}$ in the sense that [ H( ho^{-1}) - H(lambda) sim C sqrt{ ho^{-1} - lambda} quad ext{as } lambda uparrow ho^{-1} ] for some positive constant $C$. We conjecture that the Hausdorff dimension of $Lambda$ in the critical case $lambda=h{o}^{-1}$ is $lo{g}_{a}H(h{o}^{-1})$ almost surely. This has been confirmed on free groups or the free product (by amalgamation) of finitely many finite groups equipped with the word metric $d$ defined by the standard generating set.
