A U-statistic of a Poisson point process is defined as the sum ∑ f (x₁, · · ·, xk) over all (possibly infinitely many) k-tuples of distinct points of the point process. Using the Malliavin calculus, ...

We consider a stationary Poisson process X of k-flats in ℝ d with intensity measure Θ and a measurable set S of k-flats depending on F 1 ,..., F n ∈ X, x ∈ ℝ d , and X in a specific equivariant way.

Stochastic geometry is the branch of probability theory dealing with spatial random structures such as random tessellations, random sets, random polytopes or spatial random graphs. Such objects are ...
