Abstract: We study fragmentation trees of Gibbs type. In the binary case, we identify the most general Gibbs-type fragmentation tree with Aldous' beta-splitting model, which has an extended parameter range $$ with respect to the $$ probability distributions on which it is based. In the multifurcating case, we show that Gibbs fragmentation trees are associated with the two-parameter Poisson--Dirichlet models for exchangeable random partitions of $mathbbN$, with an extended parameter range $0lealphale1$, $hetage-2alpha$ and $alpha<0$, $heta=-malpha$, $minmathbbN$.
