In this paper we give a new example of duality between fragmentation and coagulation operators. Consider the space of partitions of mass (i.e., decreasing sequences of nonnegative real numbers whose sum is 1) and the two-parameter family of…

We show that for $0<\alpha<1$ and $\theta>-\alpha$, the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter $(\alpha, \theta)$ is the unique reversible distribution of a rather natural fragmentation-coalescence process. This completes earlier…

We generalize the celebrated coagulation-fragmentation duality of Pitman (1999), originally established for the PD$(\alpha,\theta)$ laws of Pitman and Yor (1997), resolving a two-decade open problem. Our framework extends the duality to…
