The integrated super-Brownian excursion (ISE) is the occupation measure of the spatial component of the head of the Brownian snake with lifetime process the normalized Brownian excursion. It is a random probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$,…
In this paper, a surprising connection is described between a specific brand of random lattices, namely planar quadrangulations, and Aldous' Integrated SuperBrownian Excursion (ISE). As a consequence, the radius r_n of a random…
We develop an excursion theory for Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, which in many respects is analogous to the classical It\^o theory for linear Brownian motion. Each excursion is associated with a connected component of the…
We consider the number of nodes in the levels of unlabelled rooted random trees and show that the stochastic process given by the properly scaled level sizes weakly converges to the local time of a standard Brownian excursion. Furthermore…
We consider a Feller diffusion (Zs, s $\ge$ 0) (with diffusion coefficient $\sqrt$ 2$\beta$ and drift $\theta$ $\in$ R) that we condition on {Zt = at}, where at is a deterministic function, and we study the limit in distribution of the…
We study the behaviour of the rescaled minimal subtree containing the origin and K random vertices selected from a random critical (sufficiently spread-out, and in dimensions d > 8) lattice tree conditioned to survive until time ns, in the…
Let $b$ be an integer greater than 1 and let $W^{\ee}=(W^{\ee}_n; n\geq 0)$ be a random walk on the $b$-ary rooted tree $\U_b$, starting at the root, going up (resp. down) with probability $1/2+\epsilon$ (resp. $1/2 -\epsilon$), $\epsilon…
We consider Galton-Watson trees associated with a critical offspring distribution and conditioned to have exactly $n$ vertices. These trees are embedded in the real line by affecting spatial positions to the vertices, in such a way that the…
We derive the distribution of the center of mass $S$ of the integrated superBrownian excursion (ISE) {from} the asymptotic distribution of the Wiener index for simple trees. Equivalently, this is the distribution of the integral of a…
We show that the past and future of half-plane Brownian motion at certain cutpoints are independent of each other after a conformal transformation. Like in Ito's excursion theory, the pieces between cutpoints form a Poisson process with…
It has been known for a few years that the occupation measure of several models of embedded trees converges, after a suitable normalization, to the random measure called ISE (Integrated SuperBrownian Excursion). Here, we prove a local…
Can we obtain a Brownian CRT of mass $1/2$ from a CRT of mass $1$ by cutting certain branches? In this paper, we will answer that question in the much more general setting of self-similar Markov trees. Self-similar Markov trees (ssMt) are…
We discuss several connections between discrete and continuous random trees. In the discrete setting, we focus on Galton-Watson trees under various conditionings. In particular, we present a simple approach to Aldous' theorem giving the…
We discuss subordination of random compact R-trees. We focus on the case of the Brownian tree, where the subordination function is given by the past maximum process of Brownian motion indexed by the tree. In that particular case, the…
Given a general critical or sub-critical branching mechanism and its associated L\'evy continuum random tree, we consider a pruning procedure on this tree using a Poisson snake. It defines a fragmentation process on the tree. We compute the…
We consider fragmentations of an R-tree $T$ driven by cuts arriving according to a Poisson process on $T \times [0, \infty)$, where the first co-ordinate specifies the location of the cut and the second the time at which it occurs. The…
We consider Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees in random environment, where each generation $k$ is attributed a random offspring distribution $\mu_k$, and $(\mu_k)_{k\geq 0}$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random…
We study the simple random walk on trees and give estimates on the mixing and relaxation time. Relying on a recent characterization by Basu, Hermon and Peres, we give geometric criteria, which are easy to verify and allow to determine…
Billera-Holmes-Vogtmann (BHV) tree space is a geodesic metric space of edge-weighted phylogenetic trees with a fixed leaf set. Constructing parametric distributions on this space is challenging due to its non-Euclidean geometry and the…
We consider the Brownian tree introduced by Aldous and the associated Q-process which consists in an infinite spine on which are grafted independent Brownian trees. We present a reversal procedure on these trees that consists in looking at…
