| contents | We consider two independent branching random walks that start next to each other on the $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice and that carry two different colors. Vertices of the lattice are colored according to the color of the walker cloud that first visits the vertex, leading to the question of possible coexistence in the sense that both colors appear on infinitely many vertices. Under mild conditions, we prove the coexistence for two independently distributed branching random walks obeying the same first- and second-order behavior for their extremal particles. To complement this result, we also exhibit examples for the almost-sure absence of coexistence, for $d=1$, in cases where the asymptotic shapes of the walker clouds are calibrated to coincide, thereby answering a question by Deijfen and Vilkas (ECP 28(15):1-11, 2023). As a main tool we employ second-order and large-deviation approximations for the position of the extremal particles in one-dimensional branching random walks. |
