In this paper we consider the parabolic Anderson model with i.i.d. Pareto potential on a critical Galton-Watson tree conditioned to survive. We prove that the solution at time $t$ is concentrated at a single site with high probability and at two sites almost surely as $t \\to \\infty$. Moreover, we identify asymptotics for the localisation sites and the total mass, and show that the solution $u(t,v)$ at a vertex $v$ can be well-approximated by a certain functional of $v$. The main difference with earlier results on $\\mathbb{Z}^d$ is that we have to incorporate the effect of variable vertex degrees within the tree, and make the role of the degrees precise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-17T12:53:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J80", "35K40", "60J27" ], "keywords": [ "parabolic anderson model", "critical galton-watson tree", "pareto environment", "extra spatial randomness", "pareto potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
