Approximation of maximum of Gaussian random fields

This contribution is concerned with Gumbel limiting results for supremum ${\mathbb{M}}_{\mathit{n}}={\sup }_{\mathit{t}\in [\mathbf{0},{\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{n}}]}?|X_{\mathit{n}}(\mathit{t})|$ with $X_{\mathit{n}},\mathit{n}\in {\mathbb{N}}^2$ centered Gaussian random fields with continuous trajectories. We show first the convergence of a related point process to a Poisson point process thereby extending previous results obtained in [8] for Gaussian processes. Furthermore, we derive Gumbel limit results for ${\mathbb{M}}_{\mathit{n}}$ as $\mathit{n}\to \infty$ and show a second-order approximation for $\mathbb{E}{\{{\mathbb{M}}_{\mathit{n}}^p\}}^{1/p}$ for any $p\ge 1$.
