Branching capacity and Brownian snake capacity

The branching capacity has been introduced by Zhu 2016 as the limit of the hitting probability of a symmetric branching random walk in Zᵈ, d 5. Similarly, we define the Brownian snake capacity in Rᵈ, as the scaling limit of the hitting probability by the Brownian snake starting from afar. Then, we prove our main result on the vague convergence of the rescaled branching capacity towards this Brownian snake capacity. Our proof relies on a precise convergence rate for the approximation of the branching capacity by hitting probabilities.
