Decorrelation and mixing properties of some Gibbs processes


We shall discuss Gibbs processes on a Borel space equipped with an equivalence relation. The Papangelou intensity is assumed to be locally determined. Under a certain subcriticality assumption on an associated Poisson model, we show that the Gibbs process has fast decaying correlation functions. As a consequence we can show that the process is $\beta$-mixing. Our main tool for the proof is disagreement coupling, introduced in van den Berg and Maes (1994) in a discrete setting and extended to the continuum by Hofer-Temmel (2019) and Betsch and Last (2023).
The talk is based on joint work with Steffen Betsch.

    Stein's method for spatial random graphs
    Abstract


    Spatial random graphs provide an important framework for the analysis of relations and interactions in networks. In particular, the random geometric graph has been intensively studied and applied in various frameworks like network modeling or percolation theory. In this talk we focus on approximation results for a generalisation of the random geometric graph that consists of vertices given by a Gibbs process and (conditionally) independent edges generated from a connection probability function. We introduce a new graph metric between finite spatial graphs of possibly different sizes that is built on the OSPA metric for point patterns, but penalizes both vertex and edge structures. We develop Stein's method for general integral probability metrics that compare the distributions of spatial random graphs. We then focus on the Wasserstein distance with respect to the new graph metric to obtain improved rates of convergence for a suitable type of convergence in distribution of spatial random graphs. Finally, we give an application of our results to the discretisation of a generalised random geometric graph.
