Abstract

Take a continuous-time Galton-Watson tree and pick $k$ distinct particles uniformly from those alive at a time $T$. What does their genealogical tree look like? The case $k=2$ has been studied by several authors, and the near-critical asymptotics for general $k$ appear in Harris, Johnston and Roberts (2018) [9]. Here we give the full picture.
