Abstract

A tangent field of a random field X on ℝ N at a point z is defined to be the limit of a sequence of scaled enlargements of X about z. This paper develops general properties of tangent fields, emphasising their rich structure and strong invariance properties which place considerable constraints on their form. The theory is illustrated by a variety of examples, both of a smooth and fractal nature.
