Strict Fine Maxima

P. J. Fitzsimmons, University of California, San Diego

Abstract
We provide a simple probabilistic proof of a result of J. Král and I. Netuka: If f is a measurable real-valued function on R^d (d> 1) then the set of points at which f has a strict fine local maximum value is polar.
