%0 Journal Article %T Restricted exchangeable partitions and embedding of associated hierarchies in continuum random trees %A Bo Chen %A Matthias Winkel %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We introduce the notion of a restricted exchangeable partition of $\mathbb{N}$. We obtain integral representations, consider associated fragmentations, embeddings into continuum random trees and convergence to such limit trees. In particular, we deduce from the general theory developed here a limit result conjectured previously for Ford's alpha model and its extension, the alpha-gamma model, where restricted exchangeability arises naturally. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.5647v2
