Two types of Gaussian processes, namely the Gaussian field with generalized Cauchy covariance (GFGCC) and the Gaussian sheet with generalized Cauchy covariance (GSGCC) are considered. Some of the basic properties and the asymptotic properties of the spectral densities of these random fields are studied. The associated self-similar random fields obtained by applying the Lamperti transformation to GFGCC and GSGCC are studied.

We derive a covariance formula for the class of `topological events of smooth Gaussian fields on manifolds; these are events that depend only on the topology of the level sets of the field, for example (i) crossing events for level or excursion sets, (ii) events measurable with respect to the number of connected components of level or excursion sets of a given diffeomorphism class, and (iii) persistence events. As an application of the covariance formula, we derive strong mixing bounds for topological events, as well as lower concentration inequalities for additive topological functionals (e.g. the number of connected components) of the level sets that satisfy a law of large numbers. The covariance formula also gives an alternate justification of the Harris criterion, which conjecturally describes the boundary of the percolation university class for level sets of stationary Gaussian fields. Our work is inspired by a recent paper by Rivera and Vanneuville, in which a correlation inequality was derived for certain topological events on the plane, as well as by an old result of Piterbarg, in which a similar covariance formula was established for finite-dimensional Gaussian vectors.
We derive exact asymptotics of $$mathbb{P}left(sup_{tin mathcal{A}}X(t)>uright), ~text{as}~ utoinfty,$$ for a centered Gaussian field $X(t),~tin mathcal{A}subsetmathbb{R}^n$, $n>1$ with continuous sample paths a.s. and general dependence structure, for which $arg max_{tin {mathcal{A}}} Var(X(t))$ is a Jordan set with finite and positive Lebesque measure of dimension $kleq n$. Our findings are applied to deriving the asymptotics of tail probabilities related to performance tables and dependent chi processes.
We consider Gaussian measures $mu, tilde{mu}$ on a separable Hilbert space, with fractional-order covariance operators $A^{-2beta}$ resp. $tilde{A}^{-2tilde{beta}}$, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions on $A, tilde{A}$ and $beta, tilde{beta} > 0$ for I. equivalence of the measures $mu$ and $tilde{mu}$, and II. uniform asymptotic optimality of linear predictions for $mu$ based on the misspecified measure $tilde{mu}$. These results hold, e.g., for Gaussian processes on compact metric spaces. As an important special case, we consider the class of generalized Whittle-Matern Gaussian random fields, where $A$ and $tilde{A}$ are elliptic second-order differential operators, formulated on a bounded Euclidean domain $mathcal{D}subsetmathbb{R}^d$ and augmented with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our outcomes explain why the predictive performances of stationary and non-stationary models in spatial statistics often are comparable, and provide a crucial first step in deriving consistency results for parameter estimation of generalized Whittle-Matern fields.
This paper is concerned with the existence of multiple points of Gaussian random fields. Under the framework of Dalang et al. (2017), we prove that, for a wide class of Gaussian random fields, multiple points do not exist in critical dimensions. The result is applicable to fractional Brownian sheets and the solutions of systems of stochastic heat and wave equations.
Let a<b, Omega=[a,b]^{Z^d} and H be the (formal) Hamiltonian defined on Omega by H(eta) = frac12 sum_{x,yinZ^d} J(x-y) (eta(x)-eta(y))^2 where J:Z^dtoR is any summable non-negative symmetric function (J(x)ge 0 for all xinZ^d, sum_x J(x)<infty and J(x)=J(-x)). We prove that there is a unique Gibbs measure on Omega associated to H. The result is a consequence of the fact that the corresponding Gibbs sampler is attractive and has a unique invariant measure.
