Abstract: Consider a $Lambda$-coalescent that comes down from infinity (meaning that it starts from a configuration containing infinitely many blocks at time 0, yet it has a finite number $N_t$ of blocks at any positive time $t>0$). We exhibit a deterministic function $v:(0,infty)o(0,infty)$ such that $N_t/v(t)o1$, almost surely, and in $L^p$ for any $pgeq1$, as $to0$. Our approach relies on a novel martingale technique.
