Diffusions on a space of interval partitions: the two-parameter model

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6164922




Abstract: We introduce and study interval partition diffusions with Poisson--Dirichlet(alpha,heta) stationary distribution for parameters alphain(0,1) and hetage0. This extends previous work on the cases (alpha,0) and (alpha,alpha) and builds on our recent work on measure-valued diffusions. Our methods for dealing with general hetage0 allow us to strengthen previous work on the special cases to include initial interval partitions with dust. In contrast to the measure-valued setting, we can show that this extended process is a Feller process improving on the Hunt property established in that setting. These processes can be viewed as diffusions on the boundary of a branching graph of integer compositions. Indeed, by studying their infinitesimal generator on suitable quasi-symmetric functions, we relate them to diffusions obtained as scaling limits of composition-valued up-down chains.
