Point processes and stochastic displacement fields

Abstract

The effect of a stochastic displacement field on a statistically independent point process is analyzed. Stochastic displacement fields can be divided into two large classes: spatially correlated and uncorrelated. For both cases exact transformation equations for the two-point correlation function and the power spectrum of the point process are found, and a detailed study of them with important paradigmatic examples is done. The results are general and in any dimension. A particular attention is devoted to the kind of large scale correlations that can be introduced by the displacement field, and to the realizability of arbitrary ``superhomogeneous'' point processes.
