Growth-fragmentation processes are branching processes which model the evolution of a cloud of atoms which may grow and dislocate as time evolves. In a pioneering work, Bertoin, Budd, Curien and Kortchemski describe the branching structure of these particle systems, as well as a particular family obtained in the scaling limit from a Markov peeling process of large random planar maps. We first construct, on a half-planar excursion whose real part is a stable process, a signed version of some of the growth-fragmentation processes revealed by Bertoin, Budd, Curien and Kortchemski. This will prompt us to define a framework for growth-fragmentation with signs, or more generally with types, for which we provide a spinal description. This talk is partly based on joint works with Élie Aïdékon (Fudan University) and Juan Carlos Pardo (CIMAT).
