Abstract: We consider the exploration process associated to the continuous random tree (CRT) built using a Levy process with no negative jumps. This process has been studied by Duquesne, Le Gall and Le Jan. This measure-valued Markov process is a useful tool to study CRT as well as super-Brownian motion with general branching mechanism. In this paper we prove this process is Feller, and we compute its infinitesimal generator on exponential functionals and give the corresponding martingale.

Review text

The exploration process was first introduced to study super-Brownian motion with general branching mechanism, and is also used for the study of a continuous random tree. This paper contains background on the subject, some martingales related to the exploration process, a proof that the exploration process satisfies the Feller property, and a computation of the infinitesimal generator of the exploration process for exponential functionals.
