Let $(W,W')$ be an exchangeable pair. Assume that \[E(W-W'|W)=g(W)+r(W),\] where $g(W)$ is a dominated term and $r(W)$ is negligible. Let $G(t)=\int_0^tg(s)\,ds$ and define $p(t)=c_1e^{-c_0G(t)}$, where $c_0$ is a properly chosen constant…

We use Stein's method to bound the Wasserstein distance of order $2$ between a measure $\nu$ and the Gaussian measure using a stochastic process $(X_t)_{t \geq 0}$ such that $X_t$ is drawn from $\nu$ for any $t > 0$. If the stochastic…
