Abstract
The consequences of an ergodic assumption for mosaic processes of random convex polygons are explored in detail. Under certain regularity conditions on the βsmallnessβ and βlargenessβ of polygons it is shown that the geometric characteristics of the soβcalled βtypicalβ polygons do in fact exist. New formulae concerning these characteristics are given. The polygon process formed by a Poisson line process is considered as an example of the general theory and, as a result, certain properties of this example which were previously given heuristically, are proved. Edge effects are treated rigorously.

Using Efetov's supersymmetry method, we prove the ergodicity of a wide class of unitary random-matrix ensembles. We do so by showing that the connected part of the autocorrelation function of any observable vanishes asymptotically. The essential elements of the proof consist in a polar decomposition
