Consider the point process (in $\mathbb{R}^d$) of local maxima of smooth Gaussian fields, with sufficient decay of correlation at infinity, above a level $u$. We show that this point process, rescaled appropriately, converges weakly to a…

In the setting where we have $n$ independent observations of a random variable $X$, we derive explicit error bounds in total variation distance when approximating the number of observations equal to the maximum of the sample (in the case…
This contribution establishes exact tail asymptotics of $\sup_{(s,t)\in\mathbf{E}}$ $X(s,t)$ for a large class of nonhomogeneous Gaussian random fields $X$ on a bounded convex set $\mathbf{E}\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, with variance function that…

Recently in Gao and Stoev (2018) it was established that the concentration of maxima phenomenon is the key to solving the exact sparse support recovery problem in high dimensions. This phenomenon, known also as relative stability, has been…
We investigate level-set percolation of the discrete Gaussian free field on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in the strongly percolative regime. We consider the event that the level-set of the Gaussian free field below a level $\alpha$…
We consider fluctuations in the distribution of critical points - saddle points, minima and maxima - of random gaussian fields. We calculate the asymptotic limits of the two point correlation function for various critical point densities,…
For $0<\beta<6\pi$, we prove that the distribution of the centred maximum of the $\epsilon$-regularised continuum sine-Gordon field on the two-dimensional torus converges to a randomly shifted Gumbel distribution as $\epsilon \to 0$. Our…
This work aims to extend the existing results on thick points of logarithmic-correlated Gaussian Free Fields to Gaussian random fields that are more singular. To be specific, we adopt a sphere averaging regularization to study…
We consider a family of centered Gaussian fields on the d-dimensional unit box, whose covariance decreases logarithmically in the distance between points. We prove tightness of the recentered maximum of the Gaussian fields and provide…
The maximal (or Hilbertian) correlation coefficient between two random variables X and Y, denoted by \{X:Y\}, is the supremum of the |Corr(f(X),g(Y))| for real measurable functions f, g, where "Corr" denotes Pearson's correlation…
We consider a testing problem for cross-sectional dependence for high-dimensional panel data, where the number of cross-sectional units is potentially much larger than the number of observations. The cross-sectional dependence is described…
We study the behaviour of the point process of critical points of isotropic stationary Gaussian fields. We compute the main term in the asymptotic expansion of the two-point correlation function near the diagonal. Our main result implies…
We provide the asymptotic minimax detection boundary for a bump, i.e. an abrupt change, in the mean function of a stationary Gaussian process. This will be characterized in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the bump length and height as…
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. We present the mathematical framework for a new and simple method for investigating the non-Gaussian contributions, based on counting the maxima and…
This paper studies the limits of a spatial random field generated by uniformly scattered random sets, as the density $\lambda$ of the sets grows to infinity and the mean volume $\rho$ of the sets tends to zero. Assuming that the volume…
This note is about a drift-diffusion process $X$ with a time-independent, divergence-free drift $b$, where $b$ is a smooth Gaussian field that decorrelates over large scales. In two space dimensions, this just fails to fall into the…
We show that the rescaled maximum of the discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in dimension larger or equal to 3 is in the maximal domain of attraction of the Gumbel distribution. The result holds both for the infinite-volume field as well as…
Many inference problems involving questions of optimality ask for the maximum or the minimum of a finite set of unknown quantities. This technical report derives the first two posterior moments of the maximum of two correlated Gaussian…
