General sampling formula conjecture for Lambda-coalescents

Let Λ\Lambda be a finite measure on [0,1][0,1] with Λ({1})=0\Lambda(\{1\})=0, and let ψ(q)=[0,1](eqx1+qx)x2Λ(dx)\psi(q)=\int_{[0,1]}(e^{-qx}-1+qx)x^{-2}\Lambda(dx). For a sample of size nn, let XnX_n denote either the number AnA_n of allelic families or the number SnS_n of segregating sites. General sampling formula conjecture. For every Λ\Lambda-coalescent, the convergence

Xn1nqψ(q)1dqθ\frac{X_n}{\displaystyle\int_1^n q\psi(q)^{-1}\,dq}\longrightarrow\theta

holds in the L1L^1 sense as nn\to\infty.
