Coalescence in a Random Background
We consider a single genetic locus which carries two alleles, labelled P and Q. This locus experiences selection and mutation. It is linked to a second neutral locus with recombination rate r. If r = 0, this reduces to the study of a single selected locus. Assuming a Moran model for the population dynamics, we pass to a diffusion approximation and, assuming that the allele frequencies at the se...
متن کاملOn the coalescence time of reversible random walks
Consider a system of coalescing random walks where each individual performs random walk over a finite graph G, or (more generally) evolves according to some reversible Markov chain generator Q. Let C be the first time at which all walkers have coalesced into a single cluster. C is closely related to the consensus time of the voter model for this G or Q. We prove that the expected value of C is ...
متن کاملMixing times for random k-cycles and coalescence-fragmentation chains
Let Sn be the permutation group on n elements, and consider a random walk on Sn whose step distribution is uniform on k-cycles. We prove a well-known conjecture that the mixing time of this process is (1/k)n logn, with threshold of width linear in n. Our proofs are elementary and purely probabilistic, and do not appeal to the representation theory of Sn. CMS Wilberforce Rd., Cambridge Universit...
متن کاملCoalescence in Creaming Emulsions. Existence of a Pure Coalescence Zone
Stored emulsions undergo various destabilizing processes including creaming and coalescence of drops. Many experimental studies have been carried out in the past to quantify drop coalescence; however, the presence of two distinct types of coalescence mechanismssone due to the relative motion between the drops and the other due to their permanent proximity to each other in the creamshas not been...
متن کاملQuark confinement in a random background Gross-Neveu model
We study an extended Gross-Neveu model with Nf quark flavors and with an additional SU(2) (global color) degree of freedom of the quarks. The four fermion interaction in the color channel is mediated by a random color matrix with fixed strength. The effective potential for the quark condensate and the scalar correlation function is investigated in the large Nf -limit. Quark antiquark thresholds...
