Description

We study deviation probabilities for the number of high positioned particles in branching Brownian motion and confirm a conjecture of Derrida and Shi. We also solve the corresponding problem for the two-dimensional discrete Gaussian free field. Our method relies on an elementary inequality for inhomogeneous Galton–Watson processes.
