Gaussian loop- and Pólya processes

Más información sobre el libro

This thesis considers on the one hand the construction of point processes via conditional intensities, motivated by the partial Integration of the Campbell measure of a point process. Under certain assumptions on the intensity the existence of such a point process is shown. A fundamental example turns out to be the Pólya sum process, whose conditional intensity is a generalisation of the Pólya urn dynamics. A Cox process representation for that point process is shown. A further process considered is a Poisson process of Gaussian loops, which represents a noninteracting particle system derived from the discussion of indistinguishable particles. Both processes are used to define particle systems locally, for which thermodynamic limits are determined.
