Abstract

Fix a space dimension d2d\ge 2, parameters α>1\alpha > -1 and β1\beta \ge 1, and let γd,α,β\gamma_{d,\alpha, \beta} be the probability measure of an isotropic random vector in Rd\mathbb{R}^d with density proportional to \begin{align*} ||x||^\alpha\, \exp\left(-\frac{\|x\|^\beta}{\beta}\right), \qquad x\in \mathbb{R}^d. \end{align*} By KλK_\lambda, we denote the Generalized Gamma Polytope arising as the random convex hull of a Poisson point process in Rd\mathbb{R}^d with intensity measure λγd,α,β\lambda\gamma_{d,\alpha,\beta}, λ>0\lambda>0. We establish that the scaling limit of the boundary of KλK_\lambda, as λ\lambda \rightarrow \infty, is given by a universal `festoon' of piecewise parabolic surfaces, independent of α\alpha and β\beta. Moreover, we state a list of other large scale asymptotic results, including expectation and variance asymptotics, central limit theorems, concentration inequalities, Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund-type strong laws of large numbers, as well as moderate deviation principles for the intrinsic volumes and face numbers of KλK_\lambda.
