The family was constructed by Borodin and Olshanski in 2007 and it closely resembles Ethier-Kurtz's infinitely-many-neutral-allels diffusion model on Kingman simplex (1981) and Petrov's extension of Ethier-Kurtz's model (2007). The processes $X_{z,z'}$ have unique symmetrizing measures, namely, the boundary $z$-measures, which play the role of Poisson-Dirichlet measures in our context. We establish the following behavior of diffusions $X_{z,z'}$: immediately after the initial moment they jump into a dense face of Thoma simplex and then always stay there. In other words, the face acts as a natural state space for the diffusions, while other points of the simplex act like an entrance boundary for our process. As a key intermediate step we study the Dirichlet forms of the diffusions $X_{z,z}$ and find a new description for them.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-07T05:29:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J60" ], "keywords": [ "thoma simplex", "dirichlet forms", "diffusion processes", "resembles ethier-kurtzs infinitely-many-neutral-allels diffusion model", "closely resembles ethier-kurtzs infinitely-many-neutral-allels diffusion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
