Inspired by recent work of Alberts, Khanin and Quastel, we formulate general conditions ensuring that a sequence of multi-linear polynomials of independent random variables (called polynomial chaos expansions) converges to a limiting random…
In the paper [25], written in collaboration with Gesine Reinert, we proved a universality principle for the Gaussian Wiener chaos. In the present work, we aim at providing an original example of application of this principle in the…
In this PhD thesis, we apply a combination of Malliavin calculus and Stein's method in the framework of probability approximations. The specific problems we tackle with these methods are motivated by probabilistic models in cosmology (Part…
On any denumerable product of probability spaces, we extend the discrete Malliavin structure for conditionally independent random variables. As a consequence, we obtain the chaos decomposition for functionals of conditionally independent…
In [14], Nourdin and Peccati combined the Malliavin calculus and Stein's method of normal approximation to associate a rate of convergence to the celebrated fourth moment theorem [19] of Nualart and Peccati. Their analysis, known as the…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize the convergence in distribution of a sequence of arbitrary random variables to a probability distribution which is the invariant measure of a diffusion process. This class of…
We prove that a normalized sequence of multiple Wigner integrals (in a fixed order of free Wigner chaos) converges in law to the standard semicircular distribution if and only if the corresponding sequence of fourth moments converges to 2,…
We study the self-normalized sums of independent random variables from the perspective of the Malliavin calculus. We give the chaotic expansion for them and we prove a Berry-Ess\'een bound with respect to several distances.
We consider a random variable X satisfying almost-sure conditions involving G:=<DX,-DL^{-1}X> where DX is X's Malliavin derivative and L^{-1} is the inverse Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. A lower- (resp. upper-) bound condition on G is proved…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions implying that the product of $m\geq 2$ Poisson functionals, living in a finite sum of Wiener chaoses, is square-integrable. Our conditions are expressed in terms of iterated add-one cost…
Using Malliavin operators together with an interpolation technique inspired by Arratia, Goldstein and Gordon (1989), we prove a new inequality on the Poisson space, allowing one to measure the distance between the laws of a general random…
We define a covariance-type operator on Wiener space: for F and G two random variables in the Gross-Sobolev space $D^{1,2}$ of random variables with a square-integrable Malliavin derivative, we let $Gamma_{F,G}=$ where $D$ is the Malliavin…
We combine Stein's method with Malliavin calculus in order to obtain explicit bounds in the multidimensional normal approximation (in the Wasserstein distance) of functionals of Gaussian fields. Our results generalize and refine the main…
By combining the Malliavin calculus with Fourier techniques, we develop a high-order asymptotic expansion theory for a sequence of vector-valued random variables. Our asymptotic expansion formulas give the development of the characteristic…
In this paper, we consider a target random variable $Y \sim \CVG$ distributed according to a centered Variance--Gamma distribution. For a generic random element $F=I_2(f)$ in the second Wiener chaos with $\E[F^2]= \E[Y^2]$ we establish a…
We prove that an adequately rescaled sequence $\{F_n\}$ of self-adjoint operators, living inside a fixed free Wigner chaos of even order, converges in distribution to a centered free Poisson random variable with rate $\lambda>0$ if and only…
This article presents a new proof of the rate of convergence to the normal distribution of sums of independent, identically distributed random variables in chi-square distance, which was also recently studied in \cite{BobkovRenyi}. Our…
Linear combinations of chi square random variables occur in a wide range of fields. Unfortunately, a closed, analytic expression for the pdf is not yet known. As a first result of this work, an explicit analytic expression for the density…
New bounds on the total variation distance between the law of integer valued functionals of possibly non-symmetric and non-homogeneous infinite Rademacher sequences and the Poisson distribution are established. They are based on a…
