Renormalization analysis of catalytic Wright-Fisher diffusions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, several authors have studied maps where a function, describing the local diffusion matrix of a diffusion process with a linear drift towards an attraction point, is mapped into the average of that function with respect to the unique invariant measure of the diffusion process, as a function of the attraction point. Such mappings arise in the analysis of infinite systems of diffusions indexed by the hierarchical group, with a linear attractive interaction between the components. In this context, the mappings are called renormalization transformations. We consider such maps for catalytic Wright-Fisher diffusions. These are diffusions on the unit square where the first component (the catalyst) performs an autonomous Wright-Fisher diffusion, while the second component (the reactant) performs a Wright-Fisher diffusion with a rate depending on the first component through a catalyzing function. We determine the limit of rescaled iterates of renormalization transformations acting on the diffusion matrices of such catalytic Wright-Fisher diffusions.

Diffusion processes and coalescent trees
We dedicate this paper to Sir John Kingman on his 70th Birthday. In modern mathematical population genetics the ancestral history of a population of genes back in time is described by John Kingman’s coalescent tree. Classical and modern approaches model gene frequencies by diffusion processes. This paper, which is partly a review, discusses how coalescent processes are dual to diffusion process...
متن کاملExact simulation of the Wright-Fisher diffusion
The Wright-Fisher family of diffusion processes is a class of evolutionary models widely used in population genetics, with applications also in finance and Bayesian statistics. Simulation and inference from these diffusions is therefore of widespread interest. However, simulating a Wright-Fisher diffusion is difficult because there is no known closed-form formula for its transition function. In...
متن کاملWright-Fisher construction of the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion
The two-parameter Poisson–Dirichlet diffusion, introduced in 2009 by Petrov, extends the infinitely-many-neutral-alleles diffusion model, related to Kingman’s one-parameter Poisson–Dirichlet distribution and to certain Fleming–Viot processes. The additional parameter has been shown to regulate the clustering structure of the population, but is yet to be fully understood in the way it governs th...
متن کاملInteracting Fisher{wright Diiusions in a Catalytic Medium
We study the longtime behaviour of interacting systems in a randomly uctuating (space{ time) medium and focus on models from population genetics. There are two prototypes of spatial models in population genetics: spatial branching processes and interacting Fisher{Wright diiusions. Quite a bit is known on spatial branching processes where the local branching rate is proportional to a random envi...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 5 The process of most recent common ancestors in an evolving coalescent
In a population of constant size, whose family sizes evolve as Wright-Fisher diffusions, all individuals alive at time t have a most recent common ancestor (MRCA) who lived at time A(t), say. The process (A(t)) has piecewise constant paths. At each jump time En, a new MRCA takes over, who lived at time Bn := A(En). We construct the random sequence (Bn, En) in terms of a look-down process and in...
