Abstract

A simple explicit construction is provided of a partition-valued fragmentation process whose distribution on partitions of $n=1,...,n$ at time $0$ is governed by the Ewens sampling formula with parameter $þeta$. These partition-valued processes are exchangeable and consistent, as $n$ varies. They can be derived by uniform sampling from a corresponding mass fragmentation process defined by cutting a unit interval at the points of a Poisson process with intensity $x^-1 dx$ on $R_+$, arranged to be intensifying as $þeta$ increases.
