Extremes of independent Gaussian processes

For every n ∈ ℕ, let X _1n ,..., X _nn be independent copies of a zero-mean Gaussian process X _n  = {X _n (t), t ∈ T}. We describe all processes which can be obtained as limits, as n→ ∞, of the process a _n (M _n  − b _n ), where M _n (t) =  max _{i = 1,...,n} X _in (t), and a _n , b _n are normalizing constants. We also provide an analogous characterization for the limits of the process a _n L _n , where L _n (t) =  min _{i = 1,...,n} |X _in (t)|.
