Abstract
The reduced Markov branching process is a stochastic model for the genealogy of an unstructured biological population. Its limit behavior in the critical case is well studied for the Zolotarev-Slack regularity parameter . We turn to the case of very heavy tailed reproduction distribution assuming Zubkov's regularity condition with parameter . Our main result gives a new asymptotic pattern for the reduced branching process conditioned on non-extinction during a long time interval.
