Abstract

We discuss several examples of point processes [all taken from Hough et al. (Zeros of Gaussian analytic functions and determinantal point processes, 2009)] for which the autocorrelation and diffraction measures can be calculated explicitly. These include certain classes of determinantal and permanental point processes, as well as an isometry-invariant point process that arises as the zero set of a Gaussian random analytic function.
