DESCRIPTION:We consider a branching-selection system in $\\R$ 
 with N particles which give birth independently at
  rate 1 and where after each birth the leftmost pa
 rticle is erased\, keeping the number of particles
  constant. We show that\, as N tends to infinity\,
  the empirical measure process associated to the s
 ystem converges in distribution to a deterministic
  measure-valued process whose densities solve a fr
 ee boundary integro-differential equation. We also
  show that this equation has a unique traveling wa
 ve solution traveling at speed c or no such soluti
 on depending on whether c >= a or c < a\, where a 
 is the asymptotic speed of the branching random wa
 lk obtained by ignoring the removal of the leftmos
 t particles in our process. The traveling wave sol
 utions correspond to solutions of Wiener-Hopf equa
 tions. This is joint work with Rick Durrett.
