Abstract

Consider a generic random element F=finiteλk(Nk21)F_\infty= \sum_{\text{finite}} \lambda_k (N^2_k -1) in the second Wiener chaos with a finite number of non-zero coefficients in the spectral representation where (Nk)k1(N_k)_{k \ge 1} is a sequence of i.i.d N(0,1)\mathscr{N}(0,1). Using the recently discovered (see Arras et al. \cite{a-a-p-s-stein}) stein operator \RR\RR_\infty associated to FF_\infty, we introduce a new class of polynomials \PP:={Pn=\RRn1:n1}.\PP_\infty:= \{ P_n = \RR^n_\infty \textbf{1} \, : \, n \ge 1 \}. We analysis in details the case where FF_\infty is distributed as the normal product distribution N1×N2N_1 \times N_2, and relate the associated polynomials class to Rota's {\it Umbral calculus} by showing that it is a \textit{Sheffer family} and enjoys many interesting properties. Lastly, we study the connection between the polynomial class \PP\PP_\infty and the non-central probabilistic limit theorems within the second Wiener chaos.
