Random real trees

Jean-François Le Gall (2006)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We survey recent developments about random real trees, whose prototype is the Continuum Random Tree (CRT) introduced by Aldous in 1991. We briefly explain the formalism of real trees, which yields a neat presentation of the theory and in particular of the relations between discrete Galton-Watson trees and continuous random trees. We then discuss the particular class of self-similar random real trees called stable trees, which generalize the CRT. We review several important results concerning stable...

Random walk on a building of type Ãr and brownian motion of the Weyl chamber

Bruno Schapira (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper we study a random walk on an affine building of type Ãr, whose radial part, when suitably normalized, converges toward the brownian motion of the Weyl chamber. This gives a new discrete approximation of this process, alternative to the one of Biane (Probab. Theory Related Fields89 (1991) 117–129). This extends also the link at the probabilistic level between riemannian symmetric spaces of the noncompact type and their discrete counterpart, which had been previously discovered by Bougerol...
