Exercise given at the end of Leure.

Letµbe a critical offspring diribution onZ₊, with finite and positive varianceσ^. Recall that for every treeτandk≥, [τ]_k ={u∈τ;|u| ≤k}is the treeτ cut above generationk, and thatT_∞ denotes theµ-Galton–Watson tree conditioned to survived.

. Let T_n be a Galton–Watson tree with offspring diribution µ, conditioned on having n leaves. Show that T_n converges locally in diribution to T_∞ as n → ∞, that is for every finite treeτandk≥,

P([T_n]_k =τ) −→

n→∞ P([T_∞]_k =τ)
