Description:
The main goal of this series of lectures will be to present some connections between Lévy processes with no negative jumps
and branching processes or random trees. The lectures by J. Bertoin will describe some of the basic theory of Lévy processes,
including subordinators, connections with Markov processes and fluctuation theory in the case of processes with no negative
jumps.
The lectures by J.-F. Le Gall will deal more specifically with the coding of the genealogy of continuous branching processes, including applications to limit theorems for discrete Galton-Watson trees and to the construction of superprocesses.
Speakers: Jean Bertoin (Université Pierre et Marie Curie), Jean-François Le Gall (ENS, Paris)
