Abstract

We consider the limiting behaviour of the point processes associated with a branching random walk with supercritical branching mechanism and balanced regularly varying step size. Assuming that the underlying branching process satisfies Kesten- Stigum condition, it is shown that the point process sequence of properly scaled displacements coming from the nth generation converges weakly to a Cox cluster process. In particular, we establish that a conjecture of (J. Stat. Phys. 143 (3) (2011) 420-446) remains valid in this setup, investigate various other issues mentioned in their paper and recover the main result of (Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 62 (2) (1983) 165-170) in our framework.
