Abstract

We study branching Brownian motion in hyperbolic space. As hyperbolic Brownian motion is transient, the normalised empirical measure of branching Brownian motion converges to a random measure $\mu_\infty$ on the boundary. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of $\mathrm{supp}\ \mu_\infty$ is $(2\beta)\wedge 1$ where $\beta$ is the branching rate, and that $\mu_\infty$ admits a Lebesgue density for $\beta>1/2$. This is very different to the behaviour of the set of accumulation points on the boundary where $\beta_c=1/8$ which has been shown by Lalley and Selke. This answers several questions posed by Woess in a recent survey article and similar questions posed by Candellero and Hutchcroft. We believe that our methods also apply to branching random walks on non-elementary hyperbolic groups.
