Abstract
AbstractUsing an intrinsic approach, we study some properties of random fields which appear as tail fields of regularly varying stationary random fields. The index set is allowed to be a general locally compact Hausdorff Abelian group $${\mathbb G}$$

-finite. Then we proceed to a random field (defined on a probability space) which is spectrally decomposable, in a sense which is motivated by extreme value theory. We characterize mass-stationarity of the exceedance random measure in terms of a suitable version of the classical Mecke equation. We also show that the associated stationary measure is homogeneous, that is a tail measure. We then proceed with establishing and studying the spectral representation of stationary tail measures and with characterizing a moving shift representation. Finally we discuss anchoring maps and the candidate extremal index.
