We consider a collection of Euclidean random balls in ${Bbb R}^d$ generated by a determinantal point process inducing interaction into the balls. We study this model at a macros-copic level obtained by a zooming-out and three different regimes --Gaussian, Poissonian and stable-- are exhibited as in the Poissonian model without interaction. This shows that the macroscopic behaviour erases the interactions induced by the determinantal point process.
We consider weighted random balls in $real^d$ distributed according to a random Poisson measure with heavy-tailed intensity and study the asymptotic behaviour of the total weight of some configurations in $real^d$. This procedure amounts to be very rich and several regimes appear in the limit, depending on the intensity of the balls, the zooming factor, the tail parameters of the radii and of the weights. Statistical properties of the limit fields are also evidenced, such as isotropy, self-similarity or dependence. One regime is of particular interest and yields $alpha$-stable stationary isotropic self-similar generalized random fields which recovers Takenaka fields, Telecom process or fractional Brownian motion.
We consider a generalization of the weighted random ball model. The model is driven by a random Poisson measure with a product heavy tailed intensity measure. Such a model typically represents the transmission of a network of stations with a fading effect. In a previous article, the authors proved the convergence of the finite-dimensional distributions of related generalized random fields under various scalings and in the particular case when the fading function is the indicator function of the unit ball. In this paper, tightness and functional convergence are investigated. Using suitable moment estimates, we prove functional convergences for some parametric classes of configurations under the so-called large ball scaling and intermediate ball scaling. Convergence in the space of distributions is also discussed.
For $dge 3$ we construct a new coupling of the trace left by a random walk on a large $d$-dimensional discrete torus with the random interlacements on $mathbb Z^d$. This coupling has the advantage of working up to macroscopic subsets of the torus. As an application, we show a sharp phase transition for the diameter of the component of the vacant set on the torus containing a given point. The threshold where this phase transition takes place coincides with the critical value $u_*(d)$ of random interlacements on $mathbb Z^d$. Our main tool is a variant of the soft-local time coupling technique of [PT12].
It is generally argued that the solution to a stochastic PDE with multiplicative noise---such as $dot{u}=frac12 u+uxi$, where $xi$ denotes space-time white noise---routinely produces exceptionally-large peaks that are macroscopically multifractal. See, for example, Gibbon and Doering (2005), Gibbon and Titi (2005), and Zimmermann et al (2000). A few years ago, we proved that the spatial peaks of the solution to the mentioned stochastic PDE indeed form a random multifractal in the macroscopic sense of Barlow and Taylor (1989; 1992). The main result of the present paper is a proof of a rigorous formulation of the assertion that the spatio-temporal peaks of the solution form infinitely-many different multifractals on infinitely-many different scales, which we sometimes refer to as stretch factors. A simpler, though still complex, such structure is shown to also exist for the constant-coefficient version of the said stochastic PDE.
Accurate estimation of tail probabilities of projections of high-dimensional probability measures is of relevance in high-dimensional statistics and asymptotic geometric analysis. For fixed $p in (1,infty)$, let $(X^{(n,p)})$ and $(theta^n)$ be independent sequences of random vectors with $theta^n$ distributed according to the normalized cone measure on the unit $ell_2^n$ sphere, and $X^{(n,p)}$ distributed according to the normalized cone measure on the unit $ell_p^n$ sphere. For almost every sequence of projection directions $(theta^n)$, (quenched) sharp large deviation estimates are established for suitably normalized (scalar) projections of $X^{n,p}$ onto $theta^n$, that are asymptotically exact (as the dimension $n$ tends to infinity). Furthermore, the case when $(X^{(n,p)})$ is replaced with $(mathscr{X}^{(n,p)})$, where $mathscr{X}^{(n,p)}$ is distributed according to the uniform (or normalized volume) measure on the unit $ell_p^n$ ball, is also considered. In both cases, in contrast to the (quenched) large deviation rate function, the prefactor exhibits a dependence on the projection directions $(theta^n)$ that encodes geometric information. Moreover, although the (quenched) large deviation rate functions for the sequences of random projections of $(X^{(n,p)})$ and $(mathscr{X}^{(n,p)})$ are known to coincide, it is shown that the prefactor distinguishes between these two cases. The results on the one hand provide quantitative estimates of tail probabilities of random projections of $ell_p^n$ balls and spheres, valid for finite $n$, generalizing previous results due to Gantert, Kim and Ramanan, and on the other hand, generalize classical sharp large deviation estimates in the spirit of Bahadur and Ranga Rao to a geometric setting.
