Cluster point processes on manifolds

Abstract: The probability distribution mucl of a general cluster point process in a Riemannian manifold X (with independent random clusters attached to points of a configuration with distribution mu) is studied via the projection of an auxiliary measure hatmu in the space of configurations , where xinX indicates a cluster "centre" and represents a corresponding cluster relative to x. We show that the measure mucl is quasi-invariant with respect to the group Diff0(X) of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of X, and prove an integration-by-parts formula for mucl. The associated equilibrium stochastic dynamics is then constructed using the method of Dirichlet forms. General constructions are illustrated by examples including Euclidean spaces, Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive curvature and metric spaces. The paper is an extension of our earlier results for Poisson cluster measures [J. Funct. Analysis 256 (2009) 432-478] and for Gibbs cluster measures [arxiv:1007.3148], where different projection constructions were utilised.


This paper is devoted to the study of the probability distribution of a general cluster point in a Riemannian manifold (with independent random clusters attached to points of a configuration with a given distribution) via the projection of an auxiliary measure in an adequate space of configurations. The authors show that this measure is quasi invariant with respect to the group of compactly supportted diffeomorphisms of the manifold, and prove an integration-by-parts formula for this measure. The associated equilibrium stochastic dynamics is then constructed using the method of Dirichlet forms. General constructions are illustrated by examples including Euclidean spaces, Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, Riemannian manifolds of non-positive curvature and metric spaces.
