Stochastics Seminar Stationary line and flat processes

Speaker: Olav Kallenberg

Title: Stationary line and flat processes

Abstract: The line and flat processes form a major area of stochastic geometry, where I have been working for years. Here one of the main problems is to give conditions for a stationary process of lines or flats in a Euclidean space to be a Cox process. In higher dimensions this leads to some extremely intricate geometrical problems, intertwined with some equally subtle problems of measure and probability. In this talk I will give a totally elementary introduction to the area, focusing on some more accessible aspects of line processes.
