Abstract

For a determinantal point process (DPP) X with a kernel K whose spectrum is strictly less than one, André Goldman has established a coupling to its reduced Palm process X^u at a point u with K(u,u) > 0 so that, almost surely, X^u is obtained by removing a finite number of points from X. We sharpen this result, assuming weaker conditions and X^u establishing that can be obtained by removing at most one point from X, where we specify the distribution of the difference ξ_u: = X\X^u. This is used to discuss the degree of repulsiveness in DPPs in terms of ξ_u, including Ginibre point processes and other specific parametric models for DPPs.

We are grateful to Professor Russell Lyons for many useful comments, in particular for changing our focus on a more complicated coupling result established in an earlier version of our paper (briefly, to obtain the reduced Palm process, one point in the DPP was either moved or removed) to the simpler coupling result in Theorem 1, which indeed is more suited for studying repulsiveness in DPPs. Also, he pointed our attention to his paper [15], which is essential in the proof of Theorem 1. Finally, we are grateful to two referees, in particular for pointing our attention to the work by Pemantle and Peres.
