Abstract
The Fleming-Viot measure-valued diffusion arises as the infinite
population limit of various discrete genetic models with general type
space. The paper gives a countable construction of the process as the
empirical measure carried by a certain interactive particle system. This
explicit representation facilitates the study of various properties of the
Fleming-Viot process. The construction also carries versions of the fa-
miliar genealogical processes from population genetics, in particular,
Kingman's coalescent, thus unifying the genealogical and measure-valued
approaches to the subject.
