Beta-coalescents in continuum Lévy trees
نویسنده
چکیده
Considering a random binary tree with n labelled leaves, we use a pruning procedure on this tree in order to construct a Beta(3/2, 1/2)coalescent process. We also use the continuous analogue of this construction, i.e. a pruning procedure on Aldous’s continuumrandom tree, to construct a continuous state space process that has the same structure as the beta-coalescent process up to some time change. These two constructions unable us to obtain results on the coalescent process such as the asymptotics on the number of coalescent events or the law of the blocks involved in the last coalescent event. We will also present an extension for continuum Lvy trees.

Beta-coalescents and continuous stable random trees
Coalescents with multiple collisions, also known as Λ-coalescents, were introduced by Pitman and Sagitov in 1999. These processes describe the evolution of particles that undergo stochastic coagulation in such a way that several blocks can merge at the same time to form a single block. In the case that the measure Λ is the Beta(2 − α, α) distribution, they are also known to describe the genealo...

متن کاملEternal Additive Coalescents and Certain Bridges with Exchangeable Increments
Aldous and Pitman have studied the asymptotic behavior of the additive coalescent processes using a nested family random forests derived by logging certain inhomogeneous continuum random trees. Here we propose a different approach based on partitions of the unit interval induced by certain bridges with exchangeable increments. The analysis is made simple by an interpretation in terms of an aggr...
متن کاملSmall-time behavior of beta coalescents
For a finite measure Λ on [0, 1], the Λ-coalescent is a coalescent process such that, whenever there are b clusters, each k-tuple of clusters merges into one at rate ∫ 1 0 x(1− x) Λ(dx). It has recently been shown that if 1 < α < 2, the Λ-coalescent in which Λ is the Beta(2−α, α) distribution can be used to describe the genealogy of a continuous-state branching process (CSBP) with an α-stable b...
متن کاملKingman’s coalescent and Brownian motion
We describe a simple construction of Kingman’s coalescent in terms of a Brownian excursion. This construction is closely related to, and sheds some new light on, earlier work by Aldous (1998) and Warren (1999). Our approach also yields some new results: for instance, we obtain the full multifractal spectrum of Kingman’s coalescent. This complements earlier work on Beta-coalescents by Berestycki...
