(Kolmogorov, 1941)
The fragment masses exhibit a Gaussian distribution:
$\frac1{N_t}\sum_i\delta_{\log X_i(t)}\underset{t\to\infty}\approx\mathcal N(t\mu,t\sigma^2).$
(Bertoin, 2003)
The Gaussian law also applies to homogeneous fragmentations with possibly infinite rates of dislocation.
Homogeneous: all fragments split at the same rate.
Self-similar: fragments with size $x$ split at rate $\propto x^\alpha$.
(Filippov, 1961; Bertoin, 2003)
For $\alpha<0$, the fragments vanish in finite time.
For $\alpha>0$, the fragments exhibit a non-Gaussian distribution.
(D., 2017)
Let $\{\!\!\{\class{red}{X_i}\}\!\!\}$ be
a homogeneous growth-fragmentation and
$$h(q)=\frac1q\log E\!\left[\sum_{i=1}^\infty\class{red}{X_i}(1)^q\right]\!.$$
Suppose $h'(q)<0$. Then
$$e^{-qh(q)t}\sum_{i=1}^\infty\class{red}{X_i}(t)^q\,\delta_{\log\class{red}{X_i}(t)}\underset{t\to\infty}\approx M_\infty(q)\cdot\mathcal N(t\mu_q,t\sigma^2_q).$$
(D., 2017)
Let $\class{red}{Y}(t)$ be the mass of the largest cell at time $t$.
Then
$$\log\class{red}{Y}(t)\underset{t\to\infty}\approx h(\bar q)t-\frac3{2\bar q}\log t+G,$$
where $\bar q=\operatorname{argmin}h$ and $G$ is some random variable.
(D., 2017)
Let $\{\!\!\{\class{blue}{X_i}\}\!\!\}$ be
a self-similar growth-fragmentation with $\alpha>0$.
Suppose Cramér's hypothesis holds:
$\displaystyle q\mapsto\log E\!\left[\sum_{i=1}^\infty\class{red}{X_i}(1)^q\right]\!$
looks like
.
Then, for some (non-Gaussian) probability distribution $\rho$,
$$\sum_{i=1}^\infty\class{blue}{X_i}(t)^{\omega}\,\delta_{t^{1/\alpha}\class{blue}{X_i}(t)}\underset{t\to\infty}\longrightarrow M_\infty(\omega)\cdot\rho.$$
(D., 2017)
Let $\class{blue}{Y}(t)$ be the mass of the largest cell at time $t$.
Then (under Cramér's hypothesis)
$$\log\class{blue}{Y}(t)\underset{t\to\infty}\approx -\frac1\alpha\log t.$$
From mass $x$, $\class{blue}{X_\alpha}$ moves $x^\alpha$ times faster than $\class{red}{X_0}$.
From mass $x$, moves $x^\alpha$ times faster than .
That is, if
$(t)\approx x+t\cdot s$,
then
$(t)\approx x+t\cdot\class{blue}{x^\alpha}s$.
Thus
$(t)={}$$\Bigl(\int_0^t$$\class{blue}{(s)^\alpha}\,\mathrm{d}s\Bigr)$.
$\class{blue}{\mathcal T^{(11)}}$
(Haas & Miermont, 2012)
Suppose $n\overset{\smash{\tiny\textsf{frag.}}}\longmapsto\{np_1\ge\cdots\ge np_r\}$ has probability $q_n({\rm d}{\bf p})$
and "macroscopic" dislocations are rare, i.e.,
$$n^{-\alpha}\cdot (1-p_1)\,q_n({\rm d}{\bf p})\underset{n\to\infty}\longrightarrow(1-p_1)\,\nu({\rm d}{\bf p}),$$
for some $\alpha<0$ and dislocation measure $\nu$. Then
$$n^\alpha\cdot\mathcal T^{(n)}\underset{n\to\infty}\longrightarrow\mathcal T,$$
the genealogical tree of a self-similar pure fragmentation in which
$x\overset{\smash{\tiny\textsf{frag.}}}\longmapsto\{xp_i\}_{i\ge1}$ occurs at rate $x^\alpha\cdot\nu({\rm d}{\bf p})$.
Call $\class{blue}{\mathcal T^{(8,2)}}$ this tree and $\class{red}{{\bf X}^{(8,2)}}(k)$ the molecules at time $k$.
(D., 2019+)
Suppose $n\overset{\smash{\tiny\textsf{growth}}}\longmapsto k$ or $n\overset{\smash{\tiny\textsf{frag.}}}\longmapsto\{k,n-k\}$
with probability $p_{n,k}$.
Under assumptions on $n^{-\alpha}\cdot p_{n,k}$ as $n\to\infty$, we can fix $M$ so that
$\displaystyle\frac1n{\bf X}^{(n,M)}\!\left(\lfloor n^{-\alpha}\cdot\rfloor\right)\!\quad$and$\displaystyle\quad n^\alpha\cdot\mathcal T^{(n,M)}$
respectively approach a self-similar growth-fragmentation with index $\alpha<0$ and its associated genealogical tree.
