Abstract
<p class="MsoPlainText">Abstract: The goal of this talk is to discuss threeproblems on fractional and related stochastic fields, in which wavelet methodshave turned out to be quite useful.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span>  </span>The first problemconsists in constructing optimal random series representations of Lévyfractional Brownian field; by optimal we mean that the tails of the seriesconverge to zero as fast as possible i.e. at the same rate as the l-numbers.Note in passing that there are close connections between the l-numbers of aGaussian field and its small balls probabilities behavior.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span>  </span>The secondproblem concerns a uniform result on the local Hölder regularity (the pointwiseHölder exponent) of multifractional Brownian motion; by uniform we mean thatthe result is satisfied on an event with probability 1 which does not depend onthe location.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span>  </span>The third problemconsists in showing that multivariate multifractional Brownian motion satisfiesthe local nondeterminism property. Roughly speaking, this property, which wasintroduced by Berman, means that the increments are asymtotically independentand it allows to extend to general Gaussian fields many results on the localtimes of Brownian motion.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
