Abstract: We consider the stepping stone model on the torus of side $L$ in $mathbb{Z}^2$ in the limit $Loinfty$, and study the time it takes two lineages tracing backward in time to coalesce. Our work fills a gap between the finite range migration case of [Ann. Appl. Probab. 15 (2005) 671--699] and the long range case of [Genetics 172 (2006) 701--708], where the migration range is a positive fraction of $L$. We obtain limit theorems for the intermediate case, and verify a conjecture in [Probability Models for DNA Sequence Evolution (2008) Springer] that the model is homogeneously mixing if and only if the migration range is of larger order than $(logL{)}^{1/2}$.

Review text

The paper deals with the stepping stone model on the torus of side \(L\) in the two-dimensional integer lattice as \(L\) goes to infinity and the time it takes two lineages tracing backward in time to coalesce. This work fills a gap between the finite range migration case and long range case, where the migration range is a positive fraction of \(L\). The author obtains limit theorems for the intermediate case, and verified a conjecture that the model is homogeneously mixing if and only if the migration range is of larger order than \((\log L)^{1/2}\).
