We shall first consider the classical neutral Moran model with two alleles whose fate is either to become extinct or to reach fixation. We will study an ergodic version of the Moran model obtained by conditioning it to never hit the boundaries, making use of a Doob transform. We shall call it the recurrent Moran model. We will show that the Siegmund dual of the recurrent Moran process exists an...
