We show that an infinite Galton-Watson tree, conditioned on its martingale limit being smaller than $\eps$, agrees up to generation $K$ with a regular $\mu$-ary tree, where $\mu$ is the essential minimum of the offspring distribution and…

We introduce the notion of quota trees in directed graphs. Given a nonnegative integer ``quota'' for each vertex of a directed multigraph $G$, a quota tree is an immersed rooted tree which hits each vertex of $G$ the prescribed number of…

In this paper, we consider the random plane forest uniformly drawn from all possible plane forests with a given degree sequence. Under suitable conditions on the degree sequences, we consider the limit of a sequence of such forests with the…

A degree sequence is a sequence ${\bf s}=(N_i,i\geq 0)$ of non-negative integers satisfying $1+\sum_i iN_i=\sum_i N_i<\infty$. We are interested in the uniform distribution $\mathbb{P}_{{\bf s}}$ on rooted plane trees whose degree sequence…

We prove that the treewidth of an Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $\rg{n, m}$ is, with high probability, greater than $\beta n$ for some constant $\beta > 0$ if the edge/vertex ratio $\frac{m}{n}$ is greater than 1.073. Our lower bound…

The continuous random energy model (CREM) is a toy model of disordered systems introduced by Bovier and Kurkova in 2004 based on previous work by Derrida and Spohn in the 80s. In a recent paper by Addario-Berry and Maillard, they raised the…

A major task of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on a tree. Given samples from the leaves of the Markov chain, the goal is to reconstruct…

The goal of this work is to decompose random populations with a genealogy in subfamilies of a given degree of kinship and to obtain a notion of infinitely divisible genealogies. We model the genealogical structure of a population by…

Motivated by limits of critical inhomogeneous random graphs, we construct a family of sequences of measured metric spaces that we call continuous multiplicative graphs, that are expected to be the universal limit of graphs related to the…

We are interested in the local limits of families of random trees that satisfy the Markov branching property, which is fulfilled by a wide range of models. Loosely, this property entails that given the sizes of the sub-trees above the root,…

Random-cluster measures on infinite regular trees are studied in conjunction with a general type of `boundary condition', namely an equivalence relation on the set of infinite paths of the tree. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness of…

Motivated by the study of random temporal networks, we introduce a class of random trees that we coin \emph{uniform temporal trees}. A uniform temporal tree is obtained by assigning independent uniform $[0,1]$ labels to the edges of a…

We study the mixing time of the single-site update Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for generating a random independent set of a tree. Our focus is obtaining optimal convergence results for arbitrary trees. We consider the more…

Given a finite typed rooted tree $T$ with $n$ vertices, the {\em empirical subtree measure} is the uniform measure on the $n$ typed subtrees of $T$ formed by taking all descendants of a single vertex. We prove a large deviation principle in…

In this paper, we establish a coupling lemma for standard families in the setting of piecewise expanding interval maps with countably many branches. Our method merely requires that the expanding map satisfies Chernov's one-step expansion at…

We consider a branching random walk with binary state space and index set $T^k$, the infinite rooted tree in which each node has k children (also known as the model of "broadcasting on a tree"). The root of the tree takes a random value 0…

We explore the structure of the p-adic automorphism group Gamma of the infinite rooted regular tree. We determine the asymptotic order of a typical element, answering an old question of Turan. We initiate the study of a general dimension…

I present lattice Monte Carlo calculations for a universal four-component Fermi gas confined to a finite box and to a harmonic trap in one spatial dimension. I obtain the values xi_1d = 0.370(4) and xi_1d = 0.372(1), respectively, for the…

A famous conjecture by Itai and Zehavi states that, for every $d$-vertex-connected graph $G$ and every vertex $r$ in $G$, there are $d$ spanning trees of $G$ such that, for every vertex $v$ in $G\setminus \{r\}$, the paths between $r$ and…

In this paper we investigate the geometric properties of quasi-trees, and prove some equivalent criteria. We give a general construction of a tree that approximates the ends of a geodesic space, and use this to prove that every quasi-tree…
