    This study rigorously proves that De Finetti's population model with assortative mating allows for stable genetic equilibria. These equilibria are shown to exist above the Hardy-Weinberg parabola in the de Finetti diagram.

    Area of Science:

    • Population genetics
    • Mathematical biology
    • Quantitative genetics

    Background:

    • De Finetti's model describes a continuously reproducing population.
    • The model incorporates phenotypic assortative mating for autosomal genes.
    • Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a fundamental concept in population genetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To rigorously prove the existence of stable equilibria in De Finetti's population model.
    • To investigate the position of these equilibria relative to the Hardy-Weinberg parabola.
    • To analyze the implications of assortative mating on population genetic structure.

    Main Methods:

    • Mathematical modeling of population genetics.
    • Rigorous proof of equilibrium stability.

  • Analysis of genetic models using de Finetti diagrams.

    • Main Results:

    • The De Finetti model with phenotypic assortative mating admits stable equilibria.
    • These stable equilibria are located above the Hardy-Weinberg parabola in the de Finetti diagram.
    • The findings demonstrate deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium under assortative mating.

    Conclusions:

    • Phenotypic assortative mating can lead to stable genetic states not predicted by random mating.
    • The study provides rigorous mathematical support for the existence of these non-equilibrium states.
    • This work contributes to understanding the dynamics of populations with non-random mating patterns.
