The Gamma-Dirichlet structure corresponds to the decomposition of the gamma process into the independent product of a gamma random variable and a Dirichlet process. This structure allows us to study the properties of the Dirichlet process through the gamma process and vice versa. In this article, we begin with a brief review of existing results concerning the Gamma-Dirichlet structure. New results are obtained for the large deviations of the jump sizes of the gamma process and the quasi-invariance of the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The laws of the gamma process and the Dirichlet process are the respective reversible measures of the measure-valued branching diffusion with immigration and the Fleming-Viot process with parent independent mutation. We view the relation between these two classes of measure-valued processes as the dynamical Gamma-Dirichlet structure. Other results of this article include the derivation of the transition function of the Fleming-Viot process with parent independent mutation from the transition function of the measure-valued branching diffusion with immigration, and the establishment of the reversibility of the latter. One of these is related to an open problem by Ethier and Griffiths and the other leads to an alternative proof of the reversibility of the Fleming-Viot process.

We give a pathwise construction of a two-parameter family of purely-atomic-measure-valued diffusions in which ranked masses of atoms are stationary with the Poisson-Dirichlet$(alpha,theta)$ distributions, for $alphain (0,1)$ and $thetage 0$. This res olves a conjecture of Feng and Sun (2010). We build on our previous work on $(alpha,0)$- and $(alpha,alpha)$-interval partition evolutions. Indeed, we first extract a self-similar superprocess from the levels of stable processes whose jumps are decorated with squared Bessel excursions and distinct allelic types. We complete our construction by time-change and normalisation to unit mass. In a companion paper, we show that the ranked masses of the measure-valued processes evolve according to a two-parameter family of diffusions introduced by Petrov (2009), extending work of Ethier and Kurtz (1981). These ranked-mass diffusions arise as continuum limits of up-down Markov chains on Chinese restaurant processes.
We consider a piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP) with general conditional distribution of inter-occurrence time, which is called a general PDMP here. Our purpose is to establish the theory of measure-valued generator for general PDMPs. The additive functional of a semi-dynamic system (SDS) is introduced firstly, which presents us an analytic tool for the whole paper. The additive functionals of a general PDMP are represented in terms of additive functionals of the SDS. The necessary and sufficient conditions of being a local martingale or a special semimartingale for them are given. The measure-valued generator for a general PDMP is introduced, which takes value in the space of additive functionals of the SDS. And its domain is completely described by analytic conditions. The domain is extended to the locally (path-)finite variation functions. As an application of measure-valued generator, we study the expected cumulative discounted value of an additive functional of the general PDMP, and get a measure integro-differential equation satisfied by the expected cumulative discounted value function.

This paper considers a forward BSDE driven by a random measure, when the underlying forward process X is special semimartingale, or even more generally, a special weak Dirichlet process. Given a solution (Y, Z, U), generally Y appears to be of the ty pe u(t, X_t) where u is a deterministic function. In this paper we identify Z and U in terms of u applying stochastic calculus with respect to weak Dirichlet processes.

The two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution $PD(alpha,theta)$ is the distribution of an infinite dimensional random discrete probability. It is a generalization of Kingmans Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The two parameter Dirichlet process $Pi_ {alpha,theta, u_0}$ is the law of a pure atomic random measure with masses following the two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. In this article we focus on the construction and the properties of the infinite dimensional symmetric diffusion processes with respective symmetric measures $PD(alpha,theta)$ and $Pi_{alpha,theta, u_0}$. The methods used come from the theory of Dirichlet forms.
We consider a class of stochastic control problems where the state process is a probability measure-valued process satisfying an additional martingale condition on its dynamics, called measure-valued martingales (MVMs). We establish the `classical re sults of stochastic control for these problems: specifically, we prove that the value function for the problem can be characterised as the unique solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in the sense of viscosity solutions. In order to prove this result, we exploit structural properties of the MVM processes. Our results also include an appropriate version of It^os lemma for controlled MVMs. We also show how problems of this type arise in a number of applications, including model-independent derivatives pricing, the optimal Skorokhod embedding problem, and two player games with asymmetric information.
