Compactness and coming down from infinity for Λ-resampling dynamics

Let ΛMf([0,1])\Lambda\in\mathcal M_f([0,1]), and let VtΛ\mathcal V^\Lambda_t be the tree-valued Λ\Lambda-resampling dynamics at time tt. Write Uc\mathbb U_c for the space of compact metric measure spaces. Compactness conjecture. The following are equivalent: (i) for each t>0t>0, VtΛUc\mathcal V^\Lambda_t\in\mathbb U_c almost surely; and (ii) Λ\Lambda satisfies the condition

b=2γb1<,\sum_{b=2}^{\infty}\gamma_b^{-1}<\infty,

where

γb:=k=2b(k1)(bk)01Λ(dx)xk2(1x)bk.\gamma_b:=\sum_{k=2}^b(k-1)\binom{b}{k}\int_0^1\Lambda(\mathrm{d}x)\,x^{k-2}(1-x)^{b-k}.

This connects compactness of the tree-valued process with the associated Λ\Lambda-coalescent coming down from infinity.
