The extremal point process for branching random walk with stretched exponential displacements (2212.06639v2)

Abstract: We investigate a branching random walk where the displacements are independent from the branching mechanism and have a stretched exponential distribution. We describe the positions of the particles in the vicinity of the rightmost particle in terms of point process convergence. As a consequence we give a~new limit theorem for the position of the rightmost particle. Our methods rely on providing precise large deviations for sums of i.i.d. random variables with stretched exponential distributions outside the so-called one big jump regime.
