Long-term behavior dichotomy for branching diffusion with interactions

Consider the interacting branching diffusion in the case b>0b>0 and b+γ<0b+\gamma<0, with ZnZ_n denoting its particle-counting measure at time nn and dd the spatial dimension. The process has an outward Ornstein–Uhlenbeck relative motion, while its center of mass converges to 00 as time tends to infinity.

Long-term behavior dichotomy. The following dichotomy holds:

  1. If log2db+γ\frac{\log 2}{d}\leq |b+\gamma|, then ZZ suffers local extinction.
  2. If log2d>b+γ\frac{\log 2}{d}>|b+\gamma|, then
2nedb+γnZn(dy)vdy.2^{-n}e^{d|b+\gamma|n}Z_n(\mathrm{d}y)\overset{v}{\Rightarrow}\mathrm{d}y.

This conjecture describes the competition between branching and the outward spreading of the relative system. The source presents it as analogous to a conjecture for a related model; no resolution is supplied here.
