$L^p$ bounds for a central limit theorem with involutions
Abstract
Let be a fixed array of real numbers such that for . Let the permutation group be denoted by and the collection of involutions with no fixed points by , that is, with id denoting the identity permutation. For uniformly chosen from , let and where and . Denoting by and the distribution functions of and a variate respectively, we bound for using Stein's method and the zero bias transformation. Optimal Berry-Esseen or bounds for the classical problem where is chosen uniformly from were obtained by Bolthausen using Stein's method. Although in our case uniformly, the bounds we obtain are of similar form as Bolthausen's bound which holds for . The difficulty in extending Bolthausen's method from to arising due to the involution restriction is tackled by the use of zero bias transformations.
