A mixing tree-valued process arising under neutral evolution with recombination

Abstract

The genealogy at a single locus of a constant size NN population in equilibrium is given by the well-known Kingman's coalescent. When considering multiple loci under recombination, the ancestral recombination graph encodes the genealogies at all loci in one graph. For a continuous genome GG, we study the tree-valued process (TuN)uG(T^N_u)_{u\in G} of genealogies along the genome in the limit NN\to\infty. Encoding trees as metric measure spaces, we show convergence to a tree-valued process with cadlag paths. In addition, we study mixing properties of the resulting process for loci which are far apart.
