Given a planar curve, imagine rolling a sphere along that curve without slipping or twisting, and by this means tracing out a curve on the sphere. It is well known that such a rolling operation induces a local isometry between the sphere…

The seminal papers of Pickands [1,2] paved the way for a systematic study of high exceedance probabilities of both stationary and non-stationary Gaussian processes. Yet, in the vector-valued setting, due to the lack of key tools including…

The recently introduced Lipschitz-Killing curvature measures on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds satisfy a Weyl principle, i.e. are invariant under isometric embeddings. We show that they are uniquely characterized by this property. We apply…
