Asymptotic normality in Crump-Mode-Jagers processes: the lattice case

Consider a supercritical Crump–Mode–Jagers process such that all births are at integer times (the lattice case). We show that under a certain condition on the intensity of the offspring process, the second-order fluctuations of the age distribution are asymptotically normal; the condition is essential and not just a technicality. This extends to populations counted by a random characteristic.
