β¦ Synopsis
Abstract. Coalescent theory is the study of random processes where
particles may join each other to form clusters as time evolves. These notes
provide an introduction to some aspects of the mathematics of coalescent
processes and their applications to theoretical population genetics and in
other fields such as spin glass models. The emphasis is on recent work
concerning in particular the connection of these processes to continuum
random trees and spatial models such as coalescing random walks.
