Abstract : For a subcritical Galton-Watson process $\zeta n$, it is well known that under an $X \log X$ condition, the quotient $P\zeta n > 0- E\zeta n$ has a finite positive limit. There is an analogous result for a one-dimensional supercritical branching random walk: when $a$ is in the so-called subcritical speed area, the probability of presence around $na$ in the $n$-th generation is asymptotically proportional to the corresponding expectation. In Rouault 1993 this result was stated under a natural $X \log X$ assumption on the offspring point process and a unnatural condition on the offspring mean. Here we prove that the result holds without this latter condition, in particular we allow an infinite mean and a dimension $d \geq 1$ for the state-space. As a consequence the result holds also for homogeneous fragmentations as defined in Bertoin 2001, using the method of discrete-time skeletons; this completes the proof of Theorem 4 in Bertoin-Rouault 2004, see ccsd-00002954 . Finally, an application to conditioning on the presence allows to meet again the probability tilting and the so-called additive martingale.
