2 Extreme Value Theory Consider a stationary stochastic process X 0, X 1, X 2,... with marginal d.f. F. Let F = 1 F and u F = sup{x : F (x) < 1}. We are interested in the study of the distributional properties of the maximum M n = max{x 0,..., X n 1 } (1) as n. (CMUP & FEP) 2 / 24

3 Extreme Value Laws Definition We say that we have an Extreme value law (EVL) for M n if there is a non-degenerate d.f. H : R [0, 1] (with H(0) = 0) and for all τ > 0, there exists a sequence of levels u n = u n (τ) such that and for which the following holds:. np(x 0 > u n ) τ as n, (2) P(M n u n ) H(τ) as n. (3) (CMUP & FEP) 3 / 24

4 The independent case In the case X 0, X 1, X 2,... are i.i.d. r.v. then since P(M n u n ) = (F(u n )) n we have that if (2) holds, then (3) holds with H(τ) = e τ : P(M n u n ) = (1 P(X 0 > u n )) n and vice-versa. ( 1 τ n ) n e τ as n, When X 0, X 1, X 2,... are not i.i.d. but satisfy some mixing condition D(u n ) introduced by Leadbetter then something can still be said about H. (CMUP & FEP) 4 / 24

5 Condition D(u n ) from Leadbetter Let F i1,...,i n denote the joint d.f. of X i1,..., X in, and set F i1,...,i n (u) = F i1,...,i n (u,..., u). Condition (D(u n )) We say that D(u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1,... if for any integers i 1 <... < i p and j 1 <... < j k for which j 1 i p > t, and any large n N, F i1,...,i p,j 1,...,j k (u n ) F i1,...,i p (u n )F j1,...,j k (u n ) γ(n, t), where γ(n, t n ) n 0, for some sequence t n = o(n). (CMUP & FEP) 5 / 24

6 Extremal Index Theorem ([C81], see also [LLR83]) If D(u n ) holds for X 0, X 1,... and the limit (3) exists for some τ > 0 then there exists 0 θ 1 such that H(τ) = e θτ for all τ > 0. Definition We say that X 0, X 1,... has an Extremal Index (EI) 0 θ 1 if we have an EVL for M n with H(τ) = e θτ for all τ > 0. (CMUP & FEP) 6 / 24

7 Hitting Times and Kac s Lemma Consider the system (X, B, µ, f ), where X is a topological space, B is the Borel σ-algebra, f : X X is a measurable map and µ is an f -invariant probability measure, i.e., µ(f 1 (B)) = µ(b), for all B B. For a set A X let r A (x) the first hitting time to A of the point x, i.e. r A (x) = min{j N : f j (x) A}. Let µ A denote the conditional measure on A, i.e. µ A := µ A µ(a). By Kac s Lemma, the expected value of r A with respect to µ A is r A dµ A = 1/µ(A). A (CMUP & FEP) 7 / 24

8 Hitting Time Statistics and Return Time Statistics Definition Given a sequence of sets (U n ) n N so that µ(u n ) 0, the system has RTS G for (U n ) n N if for all t 0 ( µ Un r Un t ) µ(u n ) G(t) as n. (4) and the system has HTS G for (U n ) n N if for all t 0 ( µ r Un t ) G(t) as n, (5) µ(u n ) (CMUP & FEP) 8 / 24

9 Stationary stochastic processes arising from chaotic dynamics Consider a discrete dynamical system (X, B, µ, f ), where X is a d-dimensional Riemannian manifold, B is the Borel σ-algebra, f : X X is a map, µ is an f -invariant probability measure, absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue (acip). (CMUP & FEP) 9 / 24

10 In this context, we consider the stochastic process X 0, X 1,... given by X n = ϕ f n, for each n N, (6) where ϕ : X R {± } is an observable (achieving a global maximum at ξ X ) of the form ϕ(x) = g(dist(x, ξ)), where ξ X, dist denotes a Riemannian metric in X and the function g : [0, + ) R {+ } has a global maximum at 0 and is a strictly decreasing bijection for a neighborhood V of 0.. (CMUP & FEP) 10 / 24

11 Observe that if at time j N we have an exceedance of the level u sufficiently large, i.e. X j (x) > u, then we have an entrance of the orbit of x in the ball of radius g 1 (u) around ξ, at time j. {X 0 > u} = {g(dist(x, ξ)) > u} = {dist(x, ξ) < g 1 (u)} = B g 1 (u) (ξ). and ) 1 F(u) = µ (B g 1 (u) (ξ). (CMUP & FEP) 11 / 24

12 Connection between EVL and HTS (X, B, µ, f ) is a dynamical system where µ is an acip. Motivated by Collet s work, [C01], we obtained: Theorem ([FFT10]) If we have HTS G for balls centred on ξ X, then we have an EVL for M n with H = G. Theorem ([FFT10]) If we have an EVL H for M n, then we have HTS G = H for balls centred on ξ. (CMUP & FEP) 12 / 24

13 Idea of the proof: n 1 {x : M n (x) u n } = {x : X j (x) u n } j=0 n 1 = {x : g(dist(f j (x), ξ)) u n } j=0 n 1 = {x : dist(f j (x), ξ) g 1 (u n )} = {x : r Bg 1 (u n) (ξ) (x) n} j=0 Thus, µ{x : M n (x) u n } = µ{x : r Bg 1 (u n) (ξ) (x) n} (CMUP & FEP) 13 / 24

14 Note that τ ) n 1 F(u n) = µ (B g 1 (u (ξ) n) n τ ) µ (B g 1 (u (ξ) n) and so µ {x : M n (x) u n } µ x : r B g 1 (u n) (ξ) (x) τ ) µ (B g 1 (u (ξ) 1 G(τ) n) (CMUP & FEP) 14 / 24

15 Assuming D(u n ) holds, let (k n ) n N be a sequence of integers such that k n and k n t n = o(n). (7) Condition (D (u n )) We say that D (u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1,... if lim sup n Theorem (Leadbetter) [n/k] n j=1 P{X 0 > u n and X j > u n } = 0. (8) Let {u n } be such that n(1 F(u n )) τ, as n, for some τ 0. Assume that conditions D(u n ) and D (u n ) hold. Then P(M n u n ) e τ as n. (CMUP & FEP) 15 / 24

16 Assuming D(u n ) holds, let (k n ) n N be a sequence of integers such that k n and k n t n = o(n). (7) Condition (D (u n )) We say that D (u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1,... if lim sup n Theorem (Leadbetter) [n/k] n j=1 P{X 0 > u n and X j > u n } = 0. (8) Let {u n } be such that n(1 F(u n )) τ, as n, for some τ 0. Assume that conditions D(u n ) and D (u n ) hold. Then P(M n u n ) e τ as n. (CMUP & FEP) 15 / 24

17 Condition (D 2 (u n )) We say that D 2 (u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1,... if for any integers l, t and n P {X 0 > u n max{x t,..., X t+l 1 u n }} P{X 0 > u n }P{M l u n } γ(n, t), where γ(n, t) is nonincreasing in t for each n and nγ(n, t n ) 0 as n for some sequence t n = o(n). Theorem ([FF08a]) Let {u n } be such that n(1 F(u n )) τ, as n, for some τ 0. Assume that conditions D 2 (u n ) and D (u n ) hold. Then P(M n u n ) e τ as n. (CMUP & FEP) 16 / 24

18 Condition (D 2 (u n )) We say that D 2 (u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1,... if for any integers l, t and n P {X 0 > u n max{x t,..., X t+l 1 u n }} P{X 0 > u n }P{M l u n } γ(n, t), where γ(n, t) is nonincreasing in t for each n and nγ(n, t n ) 0 as n for some sequence t n = o(n). Theorem ([FF08a]) Let {u n } be such that n(1 F(u n )) τ, as n, for some τ 0. Assume that conditions D 2 (u n ) and D (u n ) hold. Then P(M n u n ) e τ as n. (CMUP & FEP) 16 / 24

19 Periodic points From here on ξ is a repelling p-periodic point, which implies that f p (ξ) = ξ, f p is differentiable at ξ and 0 < det D(f p )(ξ) < 1. Note that {X 0 > u} {X p > u} and for all u sufficiently large P({X 0 > u} {X p > u}) det D(f p )(ξ) P(X0 > u). Consequently, D (u n ) does not hold since [n/k n] n j=1 P(X 0 > u n, X j > u n ) np(x 0 > u n, X p > u n ) det D(f p )(ξ) τ (CMUP & FEP) 17 / 24

20 For repelling periodic points as above, let θ = 1 det D(f p )(ξ). Then the following condition holds: Condition (MP p,θ (u n )) We say that X 0, X 1, X 2,... satisfies the condition MP p,θ (u n ) for p N and θ [0, 1] if lim sup P(X j > u n X 0 > u n ) = 0, lim P(X p > u n X 0 > u n ) = (1 θ) n 1 j<p n and P(X p > u n, X 2p > u n,..., X ip > u n X 0 > u n ) lim sup n i (1 θ) i = 1. (CMUP & FEP) 18 / 24

21 Define the event Q p,0 (u) := {X 0 > u, X p u}. Observe that for u sufficiently large, Q p,0 (u) corresponds to an annulus centred at ξ. Define the events: Q p,i (u) := {X i > u, X i+p u}, Qp,i (u) := {X i > u} \ Q p,i (u) and Q p,s,l (u) = s+l 1 i=s Qp,i c (u). (CMUP & FEP) 19 / 24

22 Theorem ([FFT12]) Let (u n ) n N be such that np(x 0 > u n ) τ, for some τ 0. Suppose X 0, X 1,... is as in (6) and satisfies MP p,θ (u n ) for p N, and θ (0, 1). Then lim P(M n u n ) = lim P(Q p,0,n (u n )) (9) n n First observe that {M n u n } Q p,0,n (u n ). Moreover, Q p,0,n (u n ) \ {M n u n } n 1 i=0 {X i > u n, X i+p > u n,..., X i+si p > u n }, where s i = [ n 1 i p ]. It follows by MP p,θ (u n ) and stationarity that. n 1 P(Q p,0,n (u n )\{M n u n }) P ( ) X i > u n, X i+p > u n,..., X i+si p > u n i=0 [n/p] p P ( ) X 0 > u n, X p > u n, X 2p > u n,..., X ip > u n 0. n i=0 (CMUP & FEP) 20 / 24

23 Condition (D p (u n )) We say that D p (u n ) holds forx 0, X 1,... if for any l, t and n P ( Qp,0 (u n ) Q p,t,l (u n ) ) P(Q p,0 (u n ))P(Q p,0,l (u n )) γ(n, t), where γ(n, t) is nonincreasing in t for each n and nγ(n, t n ) 0 as n for some sequence t n = o(n). Let (k n ) n N be a sequence of integers such that k n and k n t n = o(n). Condition (D p(u n )) We say that D p(u n ) holds for the sequence X 0, X 1, X 2,... if there exists a sequence {k n } n N satisfying (7) and such that [n/kn] lim n P(Q p,0 (u n ) Q p,j (u n )) = 0. (10) n j=1 (CMUP & FEP) 21 / 24

24 Theorem ([FFT12]) Let (u n ) n N be such that np(x > u n ) τ, as n for some τ 0. Consider a stationary stochastic process X 0, X 1, X 2,... satisfying MP p,θ (u n ) for some p N, and θ (0, 1). Assume further that conditions D p (u n ) and D p(u n ) hold. Then Note that lim P(M n u n ) = lim P(Q p,0,n (u n )) = e θτ. (11) n n P(Q p,0 (u)) = P(X 0 > u, X p u) = = P(X 0 > u) P(X 0 > u, X p > u) = P(X 0 > u) (1 θ)p(x 0 > u) = θp(x 0 > u), and so θ P(Q p,0(u)) P(X 0 > u). (CMUP & FEP) 22 / 24
