Representation of coalescent process using pruning of trees has been used by Goldschmidt and Martin for the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent and by Abraham and Delmas for the $\beta(3/2,1/2)$-coalescent. By considering a pruning procedure on stable Galton-Watson tree with $n$ labeled leaves, we give a representation of the discrete $\beta(1+\alpha,1-\alpha)$-coalescent, with $\alpha\in [1/2,1)$ starting from the trivial partition of the $n$ first integers. The construction can also be made…

The vertex-cut-tree of Galton–Watson trees converging to a stable tree
We consider a fragmentation of discrete trees where the internal vertices are deleted independently at a rate proportional to their degree. Informally, the associated cut-tree represents the
The fixation line in the ${\Lambda}$-coalescent
We define a Markov process in a forward population model with backward genealogy given by the $\Lambda$-coalescent. This Markov process, called the fixation line, is related to the block counting

• Mathematics
• 2017
We study the frequency process $f_1$ of the block of 1 for a $\varXi$-coalescent $\varPi$ with dust. If $\varPi$ stays infinite, $f_1$ is a jump-hold process which can be expressed as a sum of broken

A line-breaking construction of the stable trees
• Mathematics
• 2014
We give a new, simple construction of the $\alpha$-stable tree for $\alpha \in (1,2]$. We obtain it as the closure of an increasing sequence of $\mathbb{R}$-trees inductively built by gluing together
Cutting and rebuilding random trees and maps
This PhD thesis is divided into two parts. First, we study some fragmentations of random trees and the associated cut-trees. The discrete models we are interested in are Galton-Watson trees, which

This work centers around results related to Proposition 21 of Pitman and Yor's (1997) paper on the two parameter Poisson Dirichlet distribution indexed by (\alpha,\theta) for 0 -\alpha, denoted
Sweepstake evolution revealed by population-genetic analysis of copy-number alterations in single genomes of breast cancer
• Biology
Royal Society Open Science
• 2017
The estimated parameters suggest that breast cancer cells underwent sweepstake evolution, where only one or very few parental cells produced a descendent cell population, and the high reproduction of only a portion of cancer cells may confer high adaptability to this cancer.
