We develop criteria for hitting probabilities of anisotropic Gaussian random fields with associated canonical pseudo-metric given by a class of gauge functions. This yields lower and upper bounds in terms of general notions of capacity and…

We show that for a wide class of Gaussian random fields, points are polar in the critical dimension. Examples of such random fields include solutions of systems of linear stochastic partial differential equations with deterministic…

We begin with isotropic Gaussian random fields, and show how the Bochner-Godement theorem gives a natural way to describe their covariance structure. We continue with a study of Mat\'ern processes on Euclidean space, spheres, manifolds and…

Consider an isotropic spherical Gaussian random field T with values in R^{d}. We investigate two problems: (i) When is the level set T^{-1}(t) nonempty with positive probability for any t\in R^{d} ? (ii) If the level set is nonempty, what…

We give an overview of the recent asymptotic results on the geometry of excursion sets of stationary random fields. Namely, we cover a number of limit theorems of central type for the volume of excursions of stationary (quasi--, positively…

How likely is the high level of a continuous Gaussian random field on an Euclidean space to have a "hole" of a certain dimension and depth? Questions of this type are difficult, but in this paper we make progress on questions shedding new…

We consider locally isotropic Gaussian random fields on the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space for fixed $N$. Using the so called Gaussian Orthogonally Invariant matrices first studied by Mallows in 1961 which include the celebrated Gaussian…

Fine regularity of stochastic processes is usually measured in a local way by local H\"older exponents and in a global way by fractal dimensions. Following a previous work of Adler, we connect these two concepts for multiparameter Gaussian…

Distances between sets arise naturally when modeling stochastic dependence on collections of spatial supports, including settings with point-referenced and areal observations. However, commonly used constructions of distances on sets,…

Let $X=\{X(t),t\in\mathbb{R}^N\}$ be a random field with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For any finite Borel measure $\mu$ and analytic set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the image measure $\mu_X$ and image set…

Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. For such fields, the relative densities of umbilical points -- topological defects which can be classified into three types -- have certain fixed values.…
