We study random trees which are invariant in law under the operation of contracting each edge independently with probability p∈(0,1). We show that all such trees can be constructed through Poisson sampling from a certain class of random measured ℝ-trees satisfying a natural scale invariance property. This has connections to exchangeable partially ordered sets, real-valued self-similar increasing processes and quasi-stationary distributions of Galton–Watson processes.

Nous étudions les arbres aléatoires dont la loi est invariante par la contraction indépendante de leurs arêtes avec probabilité p∈(0,1). Nous montrons que ces arbres peuvent être construits par échantillonnage poissonnien à partir d’une classe de ℝ-arbres aléatoires mesurés qui satisfont à une propriété d’invariance naturelle. Cette étude est liée aux ordres partiels échangeables, aux processus autosimilaires croissants à valeurs réelles et aux distributions quasi-stationnaires de processus de Galton-Watson.
