Abstract

Determinantal point processes are the main tool for the study of reflected Brownian motions. Thereby marginal distributions can be expressed in terms of Fredholm determinants, a form which is well suited for an asymptotic analysis. However, only partial aspects of the underlying theory of determinantal point processes is needed for our purposes and we merely introduce the main definitions including the crucial Lemma 3.5. Up to minor modifications, we follow (Johansson 2006) as a very accessible introduction to the topic.
