Abstract
The limit behavior of the stationary distribution of the infinite-alleles model is reduced to a single Laplace transform formula. Some known results, such as Ewens' sampling formula, the distribution of the order-statistics and the frequency spectrum density are shown to follow from this relation. All the results are obtained within the framework of the configuration process, without recourse to finite alleles models.In view of some recent results by Kingman (1977), the results apply wherever the Ewens' sampling formula is valid.
