TL;DR

This paper derives explicit formulae for Radon-Nikodym derivatives between reduced Palm distributions of all orders for the determinantal point process with the Bergman kernel on the unit disk, expressing them via regularized multiplicative functionals tied to Blaschke products. The key contribution is a new proof of the equivalence of these Palm distributions—previously shown by Holroyd and Soo—and a corollary establishing quasi-invariance under compactly supported diffeomorphisms in the unit disk.

ABSTRACT

The main result of this note, Theorem 2.7, gives explicit formulae for the Radon-Nikodym derivatives between the reduced Palm distributions, of all orders, for the determinantal point process with the Bergman kernel on the unit disk, the point process describing zeros of the i.i.d. Gaussian power series. The Radon-Nikodym derivatives are expressed as regularized multiplicative functionals related to Blaschke products. Our computation gives a new proof of the equivalence of the reduced Palm distributions of this determinantal point process, established by Holroyd and Soo. As a corollary, in Theorem 3.2 we establish the quasi-invariance of this determinantal point process, under the action of the group of diffeomorphisms with compact support in the open unit disk.

Motivation & Objective

• To derive explicit expressions for Radon-Nikodym derivatives between reduced Palm distributions of all orders for the determinantal point process with the Bergman kernel on the unit disk.
• To provide a new proof of the equivalence of reduced Palm distributions for this process, previously established by Holroyd and Soo.
• To establish the quasi-invariance of the determinantal point process under the action of diffeomorphisms with compact support in the open unit disk.
• To connect the structure of the Palm distributions to Blaschke products through regularized multiplicative functionals.
• To deepen the understanding of the probabilistic and analytic properties of determinantal point processes in complex domains.

Proposed method

• Utilizes the theory of determinantal point processes with the Bergman kernel on the unit disk as the underlying stochastic model.
• Applies the concept of reduced Palm distributions of all orders to analyze the local behavior of the point process.
• Expresses the Radon-Nikodym derivatives between these Palm measures as regularized multiplicative functionals derived from Blaschke products.
• Employs complex analytic techniques, particularly properties of inner functions and Blaschke products, to construct the explicit formulae.
• Relies on the equivalence of Palm measures to derive the quasi-invariance result under compactly supported diffeomorphisms.
• Uses the structure of the Bergman kernel and its associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space to facilitate the computation of the derivatives.
