We develop classification results for max-stable processes, based on their spectral representations. The structure of max-linear isometries and minimal spectral representations play important roles. We propose a general classification strategy for measurable max-stable processes based on the notion of co-spectral functions. In particular, we discuss the spectrally continuous-discrete, the conservative-dissipative, and the positive-null decompositions. For stationary max-stable processes, the…

Characterization and construction of max-stable processes
Max-stable processes provide a natural framework to model spatial extremal scenarios. Appropriate summary statistics include the extremal coefficients and the (upper) tail dependence coefficients. In

Spectral representations of sum- and max-stable processes
To each max-stable process with α-Fréchet margins, α ∈ (0,2), a symmetric α-stable process can be associated in a natural way. Using this correspondence, we deduce known and new results on spectral
Stable stationary processes related to cyclic flows
• Mathematics

We study stationary stable processes related to periodic and cyclic flows in the sense of Rosinski [Ann. Probab. 23 (1995) 1163–1187]. These processes are not ergodic. We provide their canonical
Structure of stationary stable processes
A connection between structural studies of stationary non-Gaussian stable processes and the ergodic theory of nonsingular flows is established and exploited. Using this connection, a unique

In this paper we show that any two spectral representations of a symmetric stable process may differ only by a change of variable and a parameter-independent multiplier. Our result can immediately be
