Minimum and extremal process for a branching random walk outside the boundary case

This work extends the studies on the minimum and extremal process of a supercritical branching random walk outside the boundary case which cannot be reduced to the boundary case. We study here the situation where the log-generating function explodes at $1$ and the random walk associated to the spine possesses a stretched exponential tail with exponent $b\in(0,\frac12)$. Under suitable conditions, we confirm the conjecture of Barral, Hu and Madaule [Bernoulli 24(2) 2018 801-841], and obtain the weak convergence for the minimum and the extremal process. We also establish an a.s. infimum result over all infinity rays of this system.
