活动简介

The famous Kesten-Stigum theorem on a supercritical multi-type Galton-Watson process gives a precise description of the exponential increasing rate of the population size via a criterion for the non-degeneracy of the fundamental branching martingale. Finding the corresponding result in the random environment case is a long-standing problem. For the single-type case the problem has been solved by Athreya and Kaplin (1971) and Tanny (1988), but for the multi-type case almost no result is known in the literature for about 50 years. In this talk, I will present a recent joint work (to appear in Ann. Appl. Prob.) with Ion Grama and Erwan Pin, in which we have solved this problem in the typical case, by constructing a suitable martingale which reduces to the fundamental branching martingale in the constant environment case, and by establishing a criterion for the non-degeneracy of its limit. This work open ways in establishing other fundamental limit theorems, such as law of large numbers, central limit theorems, Berry-Essen bound, and large deviation results.
