Two-valued sets are local sets of the two-dimensional Gaussian free field (GFF) that can be thought of as representing all points of the domain that may be connected to the boundary by a curve on which the GFF takes values only in [-a,b].…

We study the probability distribution $F(u)$ of the maximum of smooth Gaussian fields defined on compact subsets of $\R^d$ having some geometric regularity. Our main result is a general formula for the density of $F$. Even though this is an…

Motivated by the papers of Mladenovc and Piterbarg (2006), Krajka (2011) and Pereira and Tan (2017), we study the limit properties for the maxima from nonstationary random fields subject to missing observations and obtain the weakly…

Massive and massless Gaussian free fields can be described as generalized Gaussian processes indexed by an appropriate space of functions. In this article we study various approaches to approximate these fields and look at the fractal…

We investigate the extreme values of a sparse and equicorrelated Gaussian field on a triangle: the correlations on every vertical or horizontal line are all equal to a parameter $r \in [0,1/2]$ and are zero everywhere else. This problem is…

We derive novel anti-concentration bounds for the difference between the maximal values of two Gaussian random vectors across various settings. Our bounds are dimension-free, scaling with the dimension of the Gaussian vectors only through…

Let $X(t), t\in \mathcal{T}$ be a centered Gaussian random field with variance function $\sigma^2(\cdot)$ that attains its maximum at the unique point $t_0\in \mathcal{T}$, and let $M(\mathcal{T}):=\sup_{t\in \mathcal{T}} X(t)$. For…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the maximum interpoint distance of random points in a $d$-dimensional set with a unique diameter and a smooth boundary at the poles. Instead of investigating only a fixed number of $n$ points as $n$ tends…

We consider the problem of choosing Euclidean points to maximize the sum of their weighted pairwise distances, when each point is constrained to a ball centered at the origin. We derive a dual minimization problem and show strong duality…

Let $\{f(t): t\in T\}$ be a smooth Gaussian random field over a parameter space $T$, where $T$ may be a subset of Euclidean space or, more generally, a Riemannian manifold. For any local maximum of $f(t)$ located at $t_0$ in the interior of…
