### ON THE EXTERNAL BRANCHES OF COALESCENT PROCESSES WITH MULTIPLE COLLISIONS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE BOLTHAUSEN-SZNITMAN COA- LESCENT

A recursion for the joint moments of the external branch lengths for coalescents with multiple collisions (-coalescents) is provided. This recursion is used to derive asymptotic expansions as the

### On Asymptotics of the Beta Coalescents

• Mathematics
• 2014
We show that the total number of collisions in the exchangeable coalescent process driven by the beta (1, b) measure converges in distribution to a 1-stable law, as the initial number of particles

### On the external branches of coalescents with multiple collisions

• Mathematics, Physics
• 2012
A recursion for the joint moments of the external branch lengths for coalescents with multiple collisions (Lambda-coalescents) is provided and results show that the lengths of two randomly chosen external branches are positively correlated for the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent.

We study tree lengths in $\Lambda$-coalescents without a dust component from a sample of $n$ individuals. For the total lengths of all branches and the total lengths of all external branches we

Formulas are provided for the cumulants and the moments of the time T back to the most recent common ancestor of the Kingman coalescent. It is shown that both the jth cumulant and the jth moment of T

Journal of Applied Probability
• 2014
The probability h(n, m) that the block counting process of the Bolthausen-Sznitman n-coalescent ever visits the state m is analyzed. It is shown that the asymptotic hitting probabilities h(m) = lim

### Genealogies of regular exchangeable coalescents with applications to sampling

This article considers a model of genealogy corresponding to a regular exchangeable coalescent started from a large finite configuration, and undergoing neutral mutations, and derived analogous results for the number of active mutation-free lineages and the combined lineage lengths.

### On Asymptotics of Exchangeable Coalescents with Multiple Collisions

• Mathematics
Journal of Applied Probability
• 2008
We study the number of collisions, X n , of an exchangeable coalescent with multiple collisions (Λ-coalescent) which starts with n particles and is driven by rates determined by a finite

### The total external length of the evolving Kingman coalescent

• Mathematics
• 2014
The evolving Kingman coalescent is the tree-valued process which records the time evolution undergone by the genealogies of Moran populations. We consider the associated process of total external

Let $M_\alpha$ be the closure of the range of a stable subordinator of index $\alpha\in ]0,1[$. There are two natural constructions of the $M_{\alpha}$'s simultaneously for all $\alpha\in ]0,1[$, so

Abstract. We use Bochner’s subordination to give a representation of the genealogical structure associated with general continuous-state branching processes. We then apply this representation to
