$\Lambda$-coalescents model genealogies of samples of individuals from a large population by means of a family tree whose branches have lengths. The tree's leaves represent the individuals, and the lengths of the adjacent edges indicate the…

We study sequences of partitions of a non decreasing sequence I n of intervals into subintervals, starting from the trivial partition, in which each partition is obtained from the one before by splitting its subintervals in two, according…

We consider a growing planar network where a tip grows at constant speed, branches at constant rate and inactivates when it meets a branch already created. We only consider here orthogonal branching occurring always in the same direction.…

We present simple conditions under which the limiting genealogical process associated with a class of interacting particle systems with non-neutral selection mechanisms, as the number of particles grows, is a time-rescaled Kingman…

Using computer simulations and scaling ideas, we study one-dimensional models of diffusion, aggregation and detachment of particles from islands in the post-deposition regime, i. e. without flux. The diffusion of isolated particles takes…

We introduce a family of Markov processes on set partitions with a bounded number of blocks, called Lipschitz partition processes. We construct these processes explicitly by a Poisson point process on the space of Lipschitz continuous maps…

The Aldous diffusion is a conjectured Markov process on the space of real trees that is the continuum analogue of discrete Markov chains on binary trees. We construct this conjectured process via a consistent system of stationary evolutions…

We provide a detailed description of the structure of the transition probabilities and of the hitting distributions of boundary components of a manifold with corners for a degenerate strong Markov process arising in population genetics. The…

We provide a new geometric representation of a family of fragmentation processes by nested laminations, which are compact subsets of the unit disk made of noncrossing chords. We specifically consider a fragmentation obtained by cutting a…

We give a comprehensive rate equation description for the irreversible growth of aggregates by migration from small to large aggregates. For a homogeneous rate K(i;j) at which monomers migrate from aggregates of size i to those of size j,…

We study the ergodic property of a continuous-state branching process with immigration and competition. The exponential ergodicity in a weighted total variation distance is proved under natural assumptions. The main theorem applies to…

We consider linear preferential attachment trees which are specific scale-free trees also known as (random) plane-oriented recursive trees. Starting with a linear preferential attachment tree of size $n$ we show that repeatedly applying 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…

We consider a discrete-time Markov chain, called fragmentation process, that describes a specific way of successively removing objects from a linear arrangement. The process arises in population genetics and describes the ancestry of the…

We study the asymptotics of the $k$-regular self-similar fragmentation process. For $\alpha > 0$ and an integer $k \geq 2$, this is the Markov process $(I_t)_{t \geq 0}$ in which each $I_t$ is a union of open subsets of $[0,1)$, and…

We analyse the process of energy exchanges generated by the elastic collisions between a point-particle, confined to a two-dimensional cell with convex boundaries, and a `piston', i.e. a line-segment, which moves back and forth along a…

Mixing describes the process by which solutes evolve from an initial heterogeneous state to uniformity under the stirring action of a fluid flow. Fluid stretching forms thin scalar lamellae which coalesce due to molecular diffusion. Owing…

We study a generalization of the Brownian bridge as a stochastic process that models the position and velocity of inertial particles between the two end-points of a time interval. The particles experience random acceleration and are assumed…

A family of continuous-state branching processes with immigration are constructed as the solution flow of a stochastic equation system driven by time-space noises. The family can be regarded as an inhomogeneous increasing path-valued…

We consider a one-dimensional dyadic branching Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}$ with positive drift $\beta \in (0,1)$, branching rate $1/2$, reflected at $0$ and killed at a boundary $L > 0$. The killing boundary $L$ is chosen so that the…
