Abstract
We develop classification results for max-stable processes, based on their spectral representations. The structure of max-linear isometries and minimal spectral representations play important roles. We propose a general classification strategy for measurable max-stable processes based on the notion of co-spectral functions. In particular, we discuss the spectrally continuous-discrete, the conservative-dissipative, and the positive-null decompositions. For stationary max-stable processes, the latter two decompositions arise from connections to nonsingular flows and are closely related to the classification of stationary sum-stable processes. The interplay between the introduced decompositions of max-stable processes is further explored. As an example, the Brown-Resnick stationary processes, driven by fractional Brownian motions, are shown to be dissipative.
