Abstract

Let ξ:Ω×RnR\xi : \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R} be zero mean, mean-square continuous, stationary, Gaussian random field with covariance function r(x)=E[ξ(0)ξ(x)]r(x) = \mathbb{E}[\xi(0)\xi(x)] and let G:RRG : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} such that GG is square integrable with respect to the standard Gaussian measure and is of Hermite rank dd. The Breuer-Major theorem in it's continuous setting gives that, if rLd(Rn)r \in L^d(\mathbb{R}^n), then the finite dimensional distributions of Zs(t)=1(2s)n/2[st1/n,st1/n]n[G(ξ(x))E[G(ξ(x))]]dxZ_s(t) = \frac{1}{(2s)^{n/2}} \int_{[-st^{1/n},st^{1/n}]^n} \Big[G(\xi(x)) - \mathbb{E}[G(\xi(x))]\Big]dx converge to that of a scaled Brownian motion as ss \to \infty. Here we give a proof for the case when ξ:Ω×RnRm\xi : \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m is a random vector field. We also give a proof for the functional convergence in C([0,))C([0,\infty)) of ZsZ_s to hold under the condition that for some p>2p>2, GLp(Rm,γm)G\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^m, \gamma_m) where γm\gamma_m denotes the standard Gaussian measure on Rm\mathbb{R}^m and we derive expressions for the asymptotic variance of the second chaos component in the Wiener chaos expansion of Zs(1)Z_s(1).
