We define a covariance-type operator on Wiener space: for F and G two random variables in the Gross–Sobolev space D1,2 of random variables with a square-integrable Malliavin derivative, we let ΓF,G≔〈DF,−DL−1G〉, where D is the Malliavin derivative operator and L−1 is the...

We consider sequences of random variables of the type , n=1, where is a d-dimensional Gaussian process and is a measurable function. It is known that, under certain conditions on f and the covariance function r of X, Sn converges in distribution to a normal variable S. In the present paper we...

Let X1,X2,… be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with mean zero and variance one and let Sn=(X1+⋯+Xn)/n. An old and celebrated result of Prohorov (1952) asserts that Sn converges in total variation to the standard Gaussian distribution if and only if Sn0 has an absolutely continuous...

Let {Fn} be a sequence of random variables belonging to a finite sum of Wiener chaoses. Assume further that it converges in distribution towards F∞ satisfying V ar(F∞)0. Our first result is a sequential version of a theorem by Shigekawa (1980) [23]. More precisely, we prove, without...

In this paper, we study almost sure central limit theorems for sequences of functionals of general Gaussian fields. We apply our result to non-linear functions of stationary Gaussian sequences. We obtain almost sure central limit theorems for these non-linear functions when they converge in law...

Continuing the analysis initiated by Lachièze-Rey and Peccati (2013), we use contraction operators to study the normal approximation of random variables having the form of a U-statistic written on the points in the support of a random Poisson measure. Applications are provided to subgraph...

We use the concept of time-space chaos (see Peccati (Ann. Inst. Poincaré 37(5) (2001) 607; Prépublication n. 648 du Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires de l'Université Paris VI; Chaos Brownien d'espace-temps, décompositions de Hoeffding et problèmes de convergence associés,...

Motivated by asymptotic problems in the theory of empirical processes, and specifically by tests of independence, we study the law of quadratic functionals of the (weighted) Brownian sheet and of the bivariate Brownian bridge on [0,1]2. In particular: (i) we use Fubini-type techniques to...

Let be a random field indexed by an Abelian compact group G, and suppose that has the form , where T is Gaussian and stationary. The aim of this paper is to establish high-frequency central limit theorems for the Fourier coefficients associated with . The proofs of our main results involve...
