Speaker: Yimin Xiao, Michigan State University

Consider a centered Gaussian random fi eld {X =X(t);tin R^N} with stationary increments and spectral measure ?. There are three interesting cases for the spectral measure:

(i) it is absolutely continuous (the most familiar case is fractional Brownian motion); or

(ii) it is singular and is supported on a fractal set; or

(iii) it is supported on a discrete set.

In all these three cases, the sample function X(t) can either be differentiable almost everywhere or non-differentiable almost everywhere . In this talk we

present some recent results which connect the sample path regularity and fractal properties of a Gaussian random eld with the asymptotic properties of ?.
