Extreme value statistics of smooth Gaussian random fields

We consider the Gumbel or extreme value statistics describing the distribution function pG(νmax) of the maximum values of a random field ν within patches of fixed size. We present, for smooth Gaussian random fields in two and three dimensions, an analytical estimate of pG which is expected to hold i...
