A shape theorem for periodic branching diffusion

We prove a shape theorem for a multidimensional periodic branching diffusion, which is a branching particle system where particle trajectories evolve according to a diffusion, drift, branching rate and offspring distribution which all depend periodically on space. More precisely, we show that almost surely as $t\to\infty$, the particle cloud at time $t$, normalized by $t$, converges in Hausdorff distance to a deterministic convex set $\mathcal{W}$. We further establish that the boundary of the asymptotic shape $\mathcal{W}$ is of class $C^2$, strictly convex, and has positive Gaussian curvature bounded away from zero. This work generalizes the approach of arXiv:2507.10515 for $g$-BBM and furthers our understanding of the shape $\mathcal{W}$ in that setting.

A shape theorem for BBM in a periodic environment

We consider the long-time behaviour of binary branching Brownian motion (BBM) where the branching rate depends on a periodic spatial heterogeneity. We prove that almost surely as $t\to\infty$, the heterogeneous BBM at time $t$, normalized by $t$, approaches a deterministic convex shape with respect to Hausdorff distance. Our approach relies on establishing tail bounds on the probability of existence of BBM particles lying in half-spaces, which in particular yields the asymptotic speed of propagation of projections of the BBM in every direction. Our arguments are primarily probabilistic in nature, but additionally exploit the existence of a "front speed" (or minimal speed of a pulsating traveling front solution) for the Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion equation naturally associated to the BBM.
