Abstract
We investigate the maximal number M k of offspring amongst all individuals in a critical Galton-Watson process started with k ancestors. We show that when the reproduction law has a regularly varying tail with index -α for 1 < α < 2, then k -1 M k converges in distribution to a Frechet law with shape parameter 1 and scale parameter depending only on α.
