Using the lookdown construction of Donnelly and Kurtz we prove that, at any fixed positive time, the $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot process with underlying Brownian motion has a compact support provided that the corresponding $\Lambda$-coalescent…
For a class of $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot processes with underlying Brownian motion whose associated $\Lambda$-coalescents come down from infinity, we prove a one-sided modulus of continuity result for their ancestry processes recovered from…
Consider a $\Lambda$-coalescent that comes down from infinity (meaning that it starts from a configuration containing infinitely many blocks at time 0, yet it has a finite number $N_t$ of blocks at any positive time $t>0$). We exhibit a…
For a class of $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot processes with Brownian spatial motion in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose associated $\Lambda$-coalescents come down from infinity, we obtain sharp global and local modulus of continuities for the ancestry…
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.…
Consider a standard ${\Lambda }$-coalescent that comes down from infinity. Such a coalescent starts from a configuration consisting of infinitely many blocks at time $0$, but its number of blocks $N_t$ is a finite random variable at each…
We revisit the spatial ${\lambda}$-Fleming-Viot process introduced in [1]. Particularly, we are interested in the time $T_0$ to the most recent common ancestor for two lineages. We distinguish between the case where the process acts on the…
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…
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…
We study topological properties of random metric spaces which arise by Lambda-coalescents. These are stochastic processes, which start with an infinite number of lines and evolve through multiple mergers in an exchangeable setting. We show…
We study coming down from infinity for coordinated particle systems. In a coordinated particle system, particles live on a set of sites $V$ and are able to coalesce, migrate, reproduce, and die. The dynamics of these events are coordinated…
Consider a system of Brownian particles on the real line where each pair of particles coalesces at a certain rate according to their intersection local time. Assume that there are infinitely many initial particles in the system. We give a…
The star-shaped $\Lambda$-coalescent and corresponding $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot process where the $\Lambda$ measure has a single atom at unity are studied in this paper. The transition functions and stationary distribution of the…
The $\X$-coalescent processes were initially studied by M\"ohle and Sagitov (2001), and introduced by Schweinsberg (2000) in their full generality. They arise in the mathematical population genetics as the complete class of scaling limits…
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…
We study the phenomenon of coming down from infinity - that is, when the process starts from infinity and never returns to it - for continuous-state branching processes with generalized drift. We provide sufficient conditions on the drift…
We consider a Fleming-Viot-type particle system consisting of independently moving particles that are killed on the boundary of a domain. At the time of death of a particle, another particle branches. If there are only two particles and the…
We study biased variable-speed random walks in dynamical random conductances. Assuming that the conductances are upper-bounded, we prove that the walk has strictly positive speed for every bias $\lambda>0$. We then give an explicit…
In this paper we obtain scaling limits of $\Lambda$-coalescents near time zero under a regularly varying assumption. In particular this covers the case of Kingman's coalescent and beta coalescents. The limiting processes are coalescents…
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…
