Nongaussian Fluctuations arising from finite populations: Exact results for the evolutionary Moran process — •Jens Christian Claussen1 and Arne Traulsen2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Christian-Albrecht-Universität Kiel, Germany — 2Center for Evolutionary Dynamics, Harvard
The appropriate description of fluctuations within the framework of evolutionary game theory is a fundamental unsolved problem in the case of finite populations. The Moran process recently introduced into this context defines a promising standard model of evolutionary game theory in finite populations for which analytical results are accessible. We derive the stationary distribution of the Moran process population dynamics for arbitrary 2×2 games for the finite size case. In contrast to the common approach to mimic finite-size fluctuations by Gaussian distributed noise, the finite size fluctuations can deviate significantly from a Gaussian distribution.
