Abstract

We consider two models of random cones together with their duals. Let Y1,,YnY_1,\dots,Y_n be independent and identically distributed random vectors in Rd\mathbb R^d whose distribution satisfies some mild condition. The random cones Gn,dAG_{n,d}^A and Gn,dBG_{n,d}^B are defined as the positive hulls pos{Y1Y2,,Yn1Yn}\text{pos}\{Y_1-Y_2,\dots,Y_{n-1}-Y_n\}, respectively pos{Y1Y2,,Yn1Yn,Yn}\text{pos}\{Y_1-Y_2,\dots,Y_{n-1}-Y_n,Y_n\}, conditioned on the event that the respective positive hull is not equal to Rd\mathbb R^d. We prove limit theorems for various expected geometric functionals of these random cones, as nn and dd tend to infinity in a coordinated way. This includes limit theorems for the expected number of kk-faces and the kk-th conic quermassintegrals, as nn, dd and sometimes also kk tend to infinity simultaneously. Moreover, we uncover a phase transition in high dimensions for the expected statistical dimension for both models of random cones.
