报告摘要: We consider the exchangeable fragmentation-coagulation (EFC) processes, where the coagulations are multiple and not simultaneous, as in a \Lambda-coalescent, and the fragmentations dislocate at finite rate an individual block into sub-blocks of infinite size. Sufficient conditions are found for the block-counting process to explode or not and for infinity to be an exit boundary or an entrance boundary. Proofs are based on a new sufficient condition of explosion for positive continuous-time Markov chains, which is of independent interest.

报告摘要:Using Foster-Lyapunov techniques we establish new conditions on non-extinction, non-explosion, coming down from infinity and staying infinite, respectively, for the general continuous-state nonlinear branching processes introduced in Li et al. (2019). These results can be applied to identify boundary behaviors for the critical cases of the above nonlinear branching processes with power rate functions driven by Brownian motion and (or) stable Poisson random measure, which was left open in Li et al. (2019). In particular, we show that even in the critical cases, a phase transition happens between coming down from infinity and staying infinite.

报告摘要: We construct extensions of the pure-jump \Lambda-Wright-Fisher processes with frequency-dependent selection beyond their first passage time at the boundary 1. We show that they satisfy some duality relationships with the block counting process of simple exchangeable fragmentation-coalescence processes (EFC). New properties for the \Lambda-WF processes with selection and the block counting processes of the simple EFC processes are deduced from these correspondences. Some conditions are provided for the selection to be either weak enough for boundary 1 to be an exit boundary or strong enough for 1 to be an entrance boundary. In the latter process, 1 is a transient regular reflecting boundary. This corresponds to a new henomenon for the deleterious allele which can spread into the population in a set of times of zero Lebesgue measure, before vanishing in finite time almost surely.
