Abstract

We study the ratio of two different continuous-state branching processes with immigration whose total mass is forced to be constant at a dense set of times. These lead to the definition of the $Łambda$- asymmetric frequency process ($Łambda$-AFP) as a solution of to an SDE. We prove that this SDE has a unique strong solution which is a Feller process. We also calculate a large population limit when the mass tends to infinity and study the fluctuations of the process around its deterministic limit. Furthermore, we find conditions for the $Łambda$-AFP to have a moment dual. The dual can be interpreted in terms of selection, (coordinated) mutation, pairwise branching (efficiency), coalescence, and a novel component that comes from the asymmetry between the reproduction mechanisms. A pair of equally distributed continuous-state branching processes has an associated $Łambda$-AFP whose dual is a $Łambda$-coalescent. The map that sends each continuous-state branching process to its associated $Łambda$-coalescent (according to the former procedure) is a homeomorphism between metric spaces.
