Abstract

A spatial branching process is considered in which particles have a life time law with a tail index smaller than one. Other than in classical branching particle systems, at the critical dimension the system does not suffer local extinction when started from a spatially homogenous initial population. In fact, persistent convergence to a mixed Poissonian system is shown. The random limiting intensity is characterized in law by the random density in a space point of a related age-dependent superprocess at a fixed time. The proof relies on a refined study of the system starting from asymptotically large but finite initial populations.
