Abstract: We consider a spatial branching process with emigration in which children either remain at the same site as their parents or migrate to new locations and then found their own colonies. We are interested in asymptotics of the partition of the total population into colonies for large populations with rare migrations. Under appropriate regimes, we establish weak convergence of the rescaled partition to some random measure that is constructed from the restriction of a Poisson point measure to a certain random region, and whose cumulant solves a simple integral equation.

Review text

The author considers non-degenerate critical or sub-critical Galton-Watson processes in which children either stay at their parent's location or, with some probability, emigrate to a new, hitherto unoccupied location, thus founding a new ``colony. The set of possible locations does not have to be specified except for having to be infinite. The interest is in the asymptotic behaviour of the partition of the total population into colonies when the population is large and migration rare. Under regimes related to classical limit theorems for resealed Galton-Watson processes, involving Lévy processes without negative jumps, the partition, after appropriate resealing, converges to a random measure. This measure is constructed from the restriction of a Poisson point measure to a certain random region. Its cumulant is characterized as the unique solution of an integral equation involving the intensity measure of the underlying Poisson measure.
