Limit theorems for random points in a simplex

Probability 2020-05-12 v1

Abstract

In this work the q\ell_q-norms of points chosen uniformly at random in a centered regular simplex in high dimensions are studied. Berry-Esseen bounds in the regime 1q<1\leq q < \infty are derived and complemented by a non-central limit theorem together with moderate and large deviations in the case where q=q=\infty. A comparison with corresponding results for pn\ell_p^n-balls is carried out as well.
