Extremes of the standardized Gaussian noise

Let $\{ξ_n, n\in\Z^d\}$ be a $d$-dimensional array of i.i.d. Gaussian random variables and define $\SSS(A)=\sum_{n\in A} ξ_n$, where $A$ is a finite subset of $\Z^d$. We prove that the appropriately normalized maximum of $\SSS(A)/\sqrt{|A|}$, where $A$ ranges over all discrete cubes or rectangles contained in $\{1,\ldots,n\}^d$, converges in the weak sense to the Gumbel extreme-value distribution as $n\to\infty$. We also prove continuous-time counterparts of these results.
