%0 Journal Article %T A property of Petrov's diffusion %A S. N. Ethier %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X Petrov constructed a diffusion process in the Kingman simplex whose unique stationary distribution is the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution of Pitman and Yor. We show that the subset of the simplex comprising vectors whose coordinates do not sum to 1 acts like an entrance boundary for the diffusion. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.5198v1
