Renormalisation of hierarchically interacting Cannings processes

-process is a spatial coalescent with multi-level block coalescence. For the above system we carry out a full renormalisation analysis in the hierarchical mean-field limit

N o i n f t y

. Our main result is that, in the limit as

N o i n f t y

, on each scale

k i n m a t h b b N_{0}

the

k

-block averages of the

C_{N}^{c, L a m b d a}

-process converge to a random process that is a superposition of a

C^{L a m b d a_{k}}

-process and a Fleming-Viot process, the latter with a volatility

d_{k}

and with a drift of strength

c_{k}

towards the limiting

(k + 1)

-block average. It turns out that

d_{k}

is a function of

c_{l}

and

L a m b d a_{l}

for all

0 l e q l < k

. Thus, it is through the volatility that the renormalisation manifests itself. We discuss the implications of the scaling of

d_{k}

for the behaviour on large space-time scales of the

C_{N}^{c, L a m b d a}

-process. We compare the outcome with what is known from the renormalisation analysis of hierarchically interacting Fleming-Viot diffusions, pointing out several new features. We obtain a new classification for when the process exhibits clustering, respectively, exhibits local coexistence. Finally, we show that for finite

N

the same dichotomy between clustering and local coexistence holds as for

N o i n f t y

.
