Abstract

We study the largest block size of Beta n-coalescents at small times as n tends to infinity, using the paintbox construction of Beta-coalescents and the link between continuous-state branching processes and Beta-coalescents established in Birkner et al. (Electron J Probab 10(9):303–325, 2005) and Berestycki et al. (Ann Inst H Poincaré Probab Stat 44(2):214–238, 2008). As a corollary, a limit result on the largest block size at the coalescence time of the individual/block {1} is provided.
