Corners and Records of the Poisson Process in Quadrant

Alexander Gnedin, Utrecht University


Abstract
The scale-invariant spacings lemma due to Arratia, Barbour and Tavaré establishes the distributional identity of a self-similar Poisson process and the set of spacings between the points of this process. In this note we connect this result with properties of a certain set of extreme points of the unit Poisson process in the positive quadrant
