On scaling limits of multitype Galton-Watson trees with possibly infinite variance

In this work, we study asymptotics of multitype Galton-Watson trees with finitely many types. We consider critical and irreducible offspring distributions such that they belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law, where the stability indices may differ. We show that after a proper rescaling, their corresponding height process converges to the continuous-time height process associated with a strictly stable spectrally positive Lévy process. This gives an analogue of a result obtained by Miermont in the case of multitype Galton-Watson trees with finite covariance matrices of the offspring distribution. Our approach relies on a remarkable decomposition for multitype trees into monotype trees introduced by Miermont.
