Large nearest neighbour balls in hyperbolic stochastic geometry (2209.12730v3)

Abstract: Consider a stationary Poisson process in a $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space. For $R>0$ define the point process $\xi_R^{(k)}$ of exceedance heights over a suitable threshold of the hyperbolic volumes of $k$th nearest neighbour balls centred around the points of the Poisson process within a hyperbolic ball of radius $R$ centred at a fixed point. The point process $\xi_R^{(k)}$ is compared to an inhomogeneous Poisson process on the real line with intensity function $e^{-u}$ and point process convergence in the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance is shown. From this, a quantitative limit theorem for the hyperbolic maximum $k$th nearest neighbour ball with a limiting Gumbel distribution is derived.
