The block counting process with initial state $n$ counts the number of blocks of an exchangeable coalescent ($\Xi$-coalescent) restricted to a sample of size $n$. This work provides scaling limits for the block counting process of regular…
The block counting process and the fixation line of the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent are analyzed. Spectral decompositions for their generators and transition probabilities are provided leading to explicit expressions for functionals such…
We provide scaling limits for the block counting process and the fixation line of $\Lambda$-coalescents as the initial state $n$ tends to infinity under the assumption that the measure $\Lambda$ on $[0,1]$ satisfies…
In this work, we study general Dirichlet coalescents, which are a family of Xi-coalecents constructed from i.i.d mass partitions, and are an extension of the symmetric coalescent. This class of models is motivated by population models with…
We define a Markov process in a forward population model with backward genealogy given by the $\Lambda$-coalescent. This Markov process, called the fixation line, is related to the block counting process through its hitting times. Two…
We study the masses of blocks of the $\Lambda$-coalescent with dust and some aspects of their large and small time behaviors. To do so, we start by associating the $\Lambda$-coalescent to a nested interval-partition constructed from the…
We study the frequency process $f_1$ of the block of 1 for a $\varXi$-coalescent $\varPi$ with dust. If $\varPi$ stays infinite, $f_1$ is a jump-hold process which can be expressed as a sum of broken parts from a stick-breaking procedure…
The point process of vertices of an iteration infinitely divisible or more specifically of an iteration stable random tessellation in the Euclidean plane is considered. We explicitly determine its covariance measure and its pair-correlation…
When identical particles on a line collide, they merge and continue as one. Exact determinantal formulas have long been available for particles conditioned never to collide, but collisions change the number of particles, and exact…
The two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion takes values in the infinite ordered simplex and extends the celebrated infinitely-many-neutral-alleles model, having a two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet stationary distribution. Here we identify…
We show that the total number of collisions in the exchangeable coalescent process driven by the beta $(1,b)$ measure converges in distribution to a 1-stable law, as the initial number of particles goes to infinity. The stable limit law is…
We consider the exchangeable fragmentation-coagulation (EFC) processes, where the coagulations are multiple and not simultaneous, as in a $\Lambda$-coalescent, and the fragmentations dislocate at finite rate an individual block into…
We prove several limit theorems that relate coalescent processes to continuous-state branching processes. Some of these theorems are stated in terms of the so-called generalized Fleming-Viot processes, which describe the evolution of a…
We study mean-field inclusion processes with an additional slow phase, in which particle interactions occur at a vanishing rate proportional to the inverse system size. In the thermodynamic limit, such systems exhibit condensation at high…
We consider the system of sticky-reflected Brownian particles on the real line proposed in [arXiv:1711.03011]. The model is a modification of the Howitt-Warren flow but now the diffusion rate of particles is inversely proportional 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…
Consider a continuous-state branching population constructed as a flow of nested subordinators. Inverting the subordinators and reversing time give rise to a flow of coalescing Markov processes (with negative jumps) which correspond to the…
An important property of Kingman's coalescent is that, starting from a state with an infinite number of blocks, over any positive time horizon, it transitions into an almost surely finite number of blocks. This is known as `coming down from…
Consider the Markov process taking values in the partitions of N such that each pair of blocks merges at rate one, and each integer is eroded, i.e., becomes a singleton block, at rate d. This is a special case of exchangeable…
In random sequential covering, identical objects are deposited randomly, irreversibly, and sequentially; only attempts increasing the coverage are accepted. A finite system eventually gets congested, and we study the statistics of congested…
