This talk will discuss the partition of n defined by the sizes of the trees attached to the root of a Galton-Watson tree with n+1 vertices. In particular, we will consider the asymptotic distribution of these partitions under various rescalings. These results are a key step in a new method of proving the convergence of rescaled Galton-Watson trees to continuum trees, and this talk will be the...
