Background Fragmentation: the process or state of breaking or being broken into fragments. Quan Shi Growth-Fragmentations CIMAT, 11-15 December, 2017 5 / 34

Background Fragmentation: the process or state of breaking or being broken into fragments. Fragmentation phenomena can be observed widely in nature: biology and population genetics, aerosols, droplets, mining industry, etc. The first studies of fragmentation from a probabilistic point of view are due to Kolmogorov [1941] and Filippov [1961]. The general framework of the theory of stochastic fragmentation processes was built mainly by Bertoin [2001, 2002]. See Bertoin [2006] for a comprehensive monograph.

Fragmentations are relevant to other areas of probability theory, such as branching processes, coalescent processes, multiplicative cascades and random trees.

Model: Self-similar fragmentation processes [Bertoin 2002] Index of self-similarity: α R. Dislocation measure: ν sigma-finite measure on [1/2, 1), such that (1 y)ν(dy) <. [1/2,1) For every y [1/2, 1), a fragment of size x > 0 splits into two fragments of size xy, x(1 y) at rate x α ν(dy). Record the sizes of the fragments at time t 0 by a measure on R + X(t) = i 1 δ Xi (t). The process X is a self-similar fragmentation (without erosion) with characteristics (α, ν).

Construction of growth-fragmentations [Bertoin 2017] Asexual reproduction of starfishes: Growth: The size of the ancestor evolves according to a positive self-similar Markov process (pssmp) X, with only negative jumps. Regeneration: At each jump time t 0 with y := X (t) X (t ) < 0, a daughter is born with initial size y. The size evolution of the daughter has the same distribution as X (but started at y), and is independent of other daughters. Granddaughters are born at the jumps of each daughter, and so on.

For the smaller root ω of κ, define M (t) := X i (t) ω, t 0. i=1 Theorem (BBCK, 2016+) When α 0, M is a uniformly integrable P x -martingale; When α < 0, M is a P x -supermartingale which converges to 0 in L 1 (P x ). Proof: By many-to-one formula: E x [M (t)] = x ω P ( Y (t) (0, ) ) ; If α 0, then P ( Y (t) (0, ) ) 1; If α < 0, then lim t P ( Y (t) (0, ) ) = 0; We conclude by the branching property of X.
