On convergence of volume of level sets of stationary smooth Gaussian fields

Abstract

We prove convergence of Hausdorff measure of level sets of smooth Gaussian fields when the levels converge. Given two coupled stationary fields $f_1,f_2$ , we estimate the difference of Hausdorff measure of level sets in expectation, in terms of $C^2$-fluctuations of the field $F=f_1-f_2$. The main idea in the proof is to represent difference in volume as an integral of mean curvature using the divergence theorem. This approach is different from using Kac-Rice type formula as main tool in the analysis.
