Let $\Lambda$ be a finite measure on the unit interval. A $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot process is a probability measure valued Markov process which is dual to a coalescent with multiple collisions ($\Lambda$-coalescent) in analogy to the duality…
Consider a continuous time Markov chain with rates Q in the state space \Lambda\cup\{0\} with 0 as an absorbing state. In the associated Fleming-Viot process N particles evolve independently in \Lambda with rates Q until one of them…
Coalescents with multiple collisions (also called Lambda-coalescents or simple exchangeable coalescents) are used as models of genealogies. We study a new class of Markovian coalescent processes connected to a population model with…
We investigate a new model for populations evolving in a spatial continuum. This model can be thought of as a spatial version of the Lambda-Fleming-Viot process. It explicitly incorporates both small scale reproduction events and large…
Birkner et al. obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the frequency between two independent and identically distributed continuous-state branching processes time-changed by a functional of the total mass process to be a Markov…
Star polymer is a typical nonlinear macromolecule possessing special thermodynamic behaviors for the existence of a jointing point. The thermodynamic transitions of a single star polymer are systematically studied with bond fluctuation…
We consider the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process model for frequencies of genetic types in a population living in R^d, in the special case in which there are just two types of individual, labelled 0 and 1. At time zero, everyone in the…
The Gamma-Dirichlet structure corresponds to the decomposition of the gamma process into the independent product of a gamma random variable and a Dirichlet process. This structure allows us to study the properties of the Dirichlet process…
We consider an irreducible pure jump Markov process with rates Q=(q(x,y)) on \Lambda\cup\{0\} with \Lambda countable and 0 an absorbing state. A quasi-stationary distribution (qsd) is a probability measure \nu on \Lambda that satisfies:…
For a probability-measure-valued neutral Fleming-Viot process $Z_t$ with L\'evy mutation and resampling mechanism associated to a general $\Lambda$-coalescent with multiple collisions, we prove the instantaneous propagation of supports.…
We consider the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process model for frequencies of genetic types in a population living in R^d, with two types of individuals (0 and 1) and natural selection favouring individuals of type 1. We first prove that the…
The d-dimensional Lambda-Fleming-Viot generator acting on functions g(x), with x being a vector of d allele frequencies, can be written as a Wright-Fisher generator acting on functions g with a modified random linear argument of x induced…
This paper provides a construction of a Fleming--Viot measure valued diffusion process, for which the transition function is known, by extending recent ideas of the Gibbs sampler based Markov processes. In particular, we concentrate on the…
We present a robust method which translates information on the speed of coming down from infinity of a genealogical tree into sampling formulae for the underlying population. We apply these results to population dynamics where the genealogy…
The $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot process is a probability measure-valued process that is dual to a $\Lambda$-coalescent that allows multiple collisions. In this paper, we consider a class of $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot processes with Brownian spatial…
We introduce a class of Markov coalescent processes on the continuous $d$-dimensional torus, in the most general setting of simultaneous multiple mergers, called the Brownian spatial coalescent. It is axiomatically defined through a…
This paper provides a new construction of \Lambda-coalescents called "measure division construction". This construction is pathwise and consists of dividing the characteristic measure \Lambda into several parts and adding them one by one to…
A class of Fleming-Viot processes with decaying sampling rates and $\alpha$-stable motions that correspond to distributions with growing populations are introduced and analyzed. Almost sure long-time scaling limits for these processes are…
We identify stationary distributions of generalized Fleming-Viot processes with jump mechanisms specified by certain beta laws together with a parameter measure. Each of these distributions is obtained from normalized stable random measures…
The (\Xi, A)-Fleming-Viot process with mutation is a probability-measure-valued process whose moment dual is similar to that of the classical Fleming-Viot process except that the Kingman's coalescent is replaced by the \Xi-coalescent, the…
