The behavior of the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with small mutation rate is studied through large deviations. The structure of the rate function indicates that the number of alleles is finite at the instant when mutation appears. The…
We provide a general theorem bounding the error in the approximation of a random measure of interest--for example, the empirical population measure of types in a Wright-Fisher model--and a Dirichlet process, which is a measure having…
We consider an infinitely-many neutral allelic model of population genetics where all alleles are divided into a finite number of classes, and each class is characterized by its own mutation rate. For this model the allelic composition of a…
The Ewens sampling formula was firstly introduced in the context of population genetics by Warren John Ewens in 1972, and has appeared in a lot of other scientific fields. There are abundant approximation results associated with the Ewens…

The two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution $PD(\alpha,\theta)$ is the distribution of an infinite dimensional random discrete probability. It is a generalization of Kingman's Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The two parameter Dirichlet…
Consider two forms of sampling from a population: (i) drawing $s$ samples of $n$ elements with replacement and (ii) drawing a single sample of $ns$ elements. In this paper, under the setting where the descending order population frequency…
We construct a new class of infinite-dimensional diffusions taking values in a generalized Kingman simplex. Our model describes the temporal evolution of the relative frequencies of infinitely-many types which are "labeled" by an arbitrary…
The Pitman-Yor process is a random discrete measure. The random weights or masses follow the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameters $0<\alpha<1, \theta>-\alpha$. The parameters $\alpha$ and $\theta$ correspond to the…
We consider the inclusion process on the complete graph with vanishing diffusivity, which leads to condensation of particles in the thermodynamic limit. Describing particle configurations in terms of size-biased and appropriately scaled…
In this paper we produce precise large deviation estimates through the lens of mod-Poisson convergence. We apply a general result to various examples from number theory, Dedekind domains and polynomials over finite fields when an element is…
We define a generalized Golomb--Dickman constant $\lambda_{\theta}$ as the limiting expected proportion of the longest cycle in random permutations under the Ewens measure with parameter $\theta > 0$. Exploiting the independence properties…
We consider a random interval splitting process, in which the splitting rule depends on the empirical distribution of interval lengths. We show that this empirical distribution converges to a limit almost surely as the number of intervals…
We study measures on random partitions, arising from condensing stochastic particle systems with stationary product distributions. We provide fairly general conditions on the stationary weights, which lead to Poisson-Dirichlet statistics of…
