General Fragmentation Trees

Probability 2013-04-02 v2

Abstract

We show that the genealogy of any self-similar fragmentation process can be encoded in a compact measured real tree. Under some Malthusian hypotheses, we compute the fractal Hausdorff dimension of this tree through the use of a natural measure on the set of its leaves. This generalizes previous work of Haas and Miermont which was restricted to conservative fragmentation processes.
