A small-time coupling between Λ-coalescents and branching processes

We describe a new general connection between Λ-coalescents and genealogies of continuous-state branching processes. This connection is based on the construction of an explicit coupling using a particle representation inspired by the lookdown process of Donnelly and Kurtz. This coupling has the prope...
