Abstract: We consider branching random walks built on Galton-Watson trees with offspring distribution having a bounded support, conditioned to have $n$ nodes, and their rescaled convergences to the Brownian snake. We exhibit a notion of "globally centered discrete snake that extends the usual settings in which the displacements are supposed centered. We show that under some additional moment conditions, when $n$ goes to $+infty$, "globally centered discrete snakes converge to the Brownian snake. The proof relies on a precise study of the "lineage of the nodes in a Galton-Watson tree conditioned by the size, and their links with a multinomial process. Some consequences concerning Galton-Watson trees conditioned by the size are also derived.
