I will talk about the joint work carried out in cooperation
with Rafał Martynek and Rafał Meller on the problem of estimating positive
stochastic processes. In particular, this applies to the hypothesis of
the existence of p-small sets formulated by Talagrand in the context of
selector processes and its generalization to empirical and infinitely
divisible processes. Our work contains a much simpler proof and some
extensions of the result of the Park - Pham team, which gave the first
combinatorial solution of the Talagrand's conjecture. At the heart of
the approach is the idea of fragment previously used to show the
"sunflower lemma" and the "Khan-Kalai hypothesis". The obtained results
are a breakthrough in the analysis of positive processes, for which
there are no good tools to study the properties of sample paths - in the
case discussed by us - the mean value of the supremum over the index
set.
