Conjectured pure-jump process limit for total length of Beta-coalescents

Let n(t)\ell_n(t) be the tree length of the coalescent tree (Tn(t))tR\left(\mathcal T_n(t)\right)_{t\in\mathbb R}. Let g=12(1+5)g=\frac{1}{2}(1+\sqrt{5}). For Beta(2α,α)(2-\alpha,\alpha)-coalescents with g<α<2g<\alpha<2, define

c=Γ(α)α(α1)2α.c=\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)\alpha(\alpha-1)}{2-\alpha}.

Total-length process conjecture. The sequence of stationary processes

(n(t)cn2α)<t<\left(\ell_n(t)-cn^{2-\alpha}\right)_{-\infty<t<\infty}

converges in finite-dimensional distribution to a stationary pure-jump process. This conjecture extends the proposed fluctuation picture from the Kingman and lower-α\alpha regimes to Beta-coalescents with g<α<2g<\alpha<2.
