In this paper, we prove the Fourth Moment Theorem for sequences of (noncommutative) random variables given as sums of two stochastic integrals in two different parity orders of chaos, both in the free Wigner chaos setting and a $q$-Gaussian…

Linear statistics of eigenvalues in many familiar classes of random matrices are known to obey gaussian central limit theorems. The proofs of such results are usually rather difficult, involving hard computations specific to the model in…

We establish the convergence of the densities of a sequence of nonlinear functionals of an underlying Gaussian process to the density of a Gamma distribution. The key idea of our work is a new density formula for random variables in the…

In \cite{n-p-noncentral}, Nourdin and Peccati established a neat characterization of Gamma approximation on a fixed Wiener chaos in terms of convergence of only the third and fourth cumulants. In this paper, we provide an optimal rate of…

In 2005, Nualart and Peccati showed the so-called Fourth Moment Theorem asserting that, for a sequence of normalized multiple Wiener-It\^o integrals to converge to the standard Gaussian law, it is necessary and sufficient that its fourth…

The aim of this paper is to control the rate of convergence for central limit theorems of sojourn times of Gaussian fields in both cases: the fixed and the moving level. Our main tools are the Malliavin calculus and the Stein's method,…

Inspired by the insightful article arXiv:1210.7587, we revisit the Nualart-Peccati-criterion arXiv:math/0503598 (now known as the Fourth Moment Theorem) from the point of view of spectral theory of general Markov diffusion generators. We…
