We study the bijection between binary Galton--Watson trees in continuous time and their exploration process, both in the sub- and in the supercritical cases. We then take the limit over renormalized quantities, as the size of the population…

We introduce multi-type Markov Branching trees, which are simple random population tree models where individuals are characterized by their size and type and give rise to (size,type)-children in a Galton-Watson fashion, with the rule that…

The degree sequence $(n_{i,j}(k), 1\leq i,j\leq d, k\geq 0)$ of a multitype forest with $d$ types encodes the number of individuals of type $i$ with $k$ children of type $j$. In this paper, we introduce a simple algorithm to sample a…

We consider multi-type Galton Watson trees, and find the distribution of these trees when conditioning on very general types of recursive events. It turns out that the conditioned tree is again a multi-type Galton Watson tree, possibly with…

We introduce flows of branching processes with competition, which describe the evolution of general continuous state branching populations in which interactions between individuals give rise to a negative density dependence term. This…

The simple Galton--Watson process describes populations where individuals live one season and are then replaced by a random number of children. It can also be viewed as a way of generating random trees, each vertex being an individual of…

We consider a random walk on a Galton-Watson tree whose offspring distribution has a regular varying tail of order $\kappa\in (1,2)$. We prove the convergence of the renormalised height function of the walk towards the continuous-time…

A continuous time mixed state branching process is constructed as the scaling limits of two-type Galton-Watson processes. The process can also be obtained by the pathwise unique solution to a stochastic equation system. From the stochastic…

We prove generalizations of the first and second Ray-Knight theorems, for a large class of non-symmetric strong Markov processes. These results link the local times of the Markov process with the squares of associated Gaussian processes.…

We study certain consistent families $(F_\lambda)_{\lambda\ge 0}$ of Galton-Watson forests with lifetimes as edge lengths and/or immigrants as progenitors of the trees in $F_\lambda$. Specifically, consistency here refers to the property…

We code Galton-Walton trees by a continuous height process, in order to give a precise meaning to the convergence of forests of trees. This allows us to establish the convergence of the forest of genealogical trees of the branching process…

We consider the set of random Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees with a bounded number of offspring and bounded number of generations as a statistical mechanics model: a random tree is a rooted subtree of the maximal tree; the spin at a given…
