Critical Hausdorff dimension conjecture for branching random walks on hyperbolic groups

Let Γ\Gamma be a nonelementary hyperbolic group with word metric dd, let Γ\partial\Gamma have a visual metric dad_a for some parameter a>1a>1, and let μ\mu be an admissible, superexponential, symmetric probability on Γ\Gamma. Let ρ\rho be the spectral radius of the associated random walk, and let ν\nu be an offspring distribution on N\mathbb{N} with mean λ=ρ1\lambda=\rho^{-1}. Write Λ\Lambda for the limit set of BRW(Γ,ν,μ){\rm BRW}(\Gamma,\nu,\mu). Critical Hausdorff dimension conjecture. The limit set (Λ,da)(\Lambda,d_a) has Hausdorff dimension

dimH(Λ)=logaH(ρ1)\dim_H(\Lambda)=\log_a H(\rho^{-1})

almost surely. Below the critical point, the corresponding dimension formula is proved; at criticality, the lower bound is known and the conjecture asserts equality.
