Title:
Palm Measures


Abstract:
An important impetus for the development of the  theory of point 
processes  came   in the early XXth century when telephone companies 
tried to reduce the customers' waiting time.  Conrad Palm, who worked 
for Ericsson in Stockholm, proposed to consider the waiting time  for 
the next call provided a call has just arrived.  This beautiful idea, 
developed by Alexander Yakovlevich Khintchine,  gave rise to the 
fundamental concept of Palm measures for point processes.   In this 
introductory seminar, I will ?start by reviewing the classical 
Palm-Khintchine Theorem of the 1950's. We will then consider processes 
with long-range interaction, namely, determinantal point  processes and 
study their conditional measures using Palm theory following the 
preprint http://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.01400v1.pdf

The elementary introductory talk is aimed at non-specialists.
