This monograph compiles the contemporary knowledge about D-norms and provides an introductory
tour through the essentials of multivariate extreme value theory. Following a clear
introduction of D-norms this book introduces links with the theory through multivariate
generalized Pareto distributions and max stable distributions. Further views on D-norms from a
functional analysis perspective and from stochastic geometry underline the aim of this book to
reveal mathematical structures. This book is intended for mathematicians with a basic knowledge
of analysis and probability theory including Fubini's theorem.
