Abstract: The parabolic Anderson model is the heat equation with some extra spatial randomness. 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→∞. 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 Zd is that we have to incorporate the effect of variable vertex degrees within the tree, and make the role of the degrees precise.
