This work demonstrates how point processes expand the understanding of immigration in branching processes, suggesting new techniques and frameworks.
Following the pivotal work of Sevastyanov (1957), who considered branching processes with homogeneous Poisson immigration, much has been done to understand the behaviour of such processes under different types of branching and immigration mechanisms. Recently, the case where the times of immigration are generated by a non-homogeneous Poisson process has been considered in depth. In this work, we demonstrate how we can use the framework of point processes in order to go beyond the Poisson process. As an illustration, we show how to transfer techniques from the case of Poisson immigration to the case where it is spanned by a determinantal point process.
