When at does not increase too rapidly, we recover the standard size-biased process (and the associated genealogical tree given by the Kesten's tree). When at behaves as $\\alpha$$\\beta$ 2 t 2 when $\\theta$ = 0 or as $\\alpha$ e 2$\\beta$|$\\theta$|t when $\\theta$ = 0, we obtain a new process whose distribution is described by a Girsanov transformation and equivalently by a SDE with a Poissonian immigration. Its associated genealogical tree is described by an infinite discrete skeleton (which does not satisfy the branching property) decorated with Brownian continuum random trees given by a Poisson point measure. As a by-product of this study, we introduce several sets of trees endowed with a Gromovtype distance which are of independent interest and which allow here to define in a formal and measurable way the decoration of a backbone with a family of continuum random trees.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-07-04T09:53:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "brownian continuum random tree", "associated genealogical tree", "infinite discrete skeleton", "poisson point measure", "independent interest" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
