Central limit theorem for products of toral automorphisms

Probability 2010-06-22 v1

Abstract

Let (τn)(\tau_n) be a sequence of toral automorphisms τn:xAnxmod\ZZd\tau_n : x \rightarrow A_n x \hbox{mod}\ZZ^d with AnAA_n \in {\cal A}, where A{\cal A} is a finite set of matrices in SL(d,Z)SL(d, \mathbb{Z}). Under some conditions the method of "multiplicative systems" of Koml\`os can be used to prove a Central Limit Theorem for the sums k=1nf(τkτk1τ1x)\sum_{k=1}^n f(\tau_k \circ \tau_{k-1} \cdots \circ \tau_1 x) if ff is a H\"older function on Td\mathbb{T}^d. These conditions hold for 2×22\times 2 matrices with positive coefficients. In dimension dd they can be applied when An=An(ω)A_n= A_n(\omega), with independent choices of An(ω)A_n(\omega) in a finite set of matrices SL(d,Z)\in SL(d, \mathbb{Z}), in order to prove a "quenched" CLT.
