We study the central limit theorem in the non-normal domain of attraction to symmetric $\alpha$-stable laws for $0<\alpha\leq2$. We show that for i.i.d. random variables $X_i$, the convergence rate in $L^\infty$ of both the densities and…
This paper deals with the numerical approximation of normalizing constants produced by particle methods, in the general framework of Feynman-Kac sequences of measures. It is well-known that the corresponding estimates satisfy a central…
We consider simple exclusion processes on Z for which the underlying random walk has a finite first moment and a non-zero mean and whose initial distributions are product measures with different densities to the left and to the right of the…
The block counting process and the fixation line of the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent are analyzed. Spectral decompositions for their generators and transition probabilities are provided leading to explicit expressions for functionals such…
An analysis is presented of a Brownian particle moving on the half-line, subject to a restoring force proportional to its displacement and an absorbing boundary at the origin. When the initial displacement is large, the central moments of…
This paper aims to establish a central limit theorem for Markov processes conditioned not to be absorbed under a very general assumption on quasi-stationarity for the underlying process. To do so, a central limit theorem has been…
We establish a Law of Large Numbers and a Central Limit Theorem for a class of Crump Mode Jagers continuous time branching processes, where the birth rate is age dependent, and also random (different from one individual to the next), in the…
We consider a counting problem in the setting of hyperbolic dynamics. Let $\phi_t : \Lambda \to \Lambda$ be a weak mixing hyperbolic flow. We count the proportion of prime periodic orbits of $\phi_t$, with length less than $T$, that satisfy…
We are interested in a fragmentation process. We observe fragments frozen when their sizes are less than $\epsilon$ ($\epsilon$ > 0). Is is known ([BM05]) that the empirical measure of these fragments converges in law, under some…
We describe a new general connection between $\Lambda$-coalescents and genealogies of continuous-state branching processes. This connection is based on the construction of an explicit coupling using a particle representation inspired by the…
Temporal coherence is a fundamental property of macroscopic quantum systems, such as lasers in optics and Bose-Einstein condensates in atomic gases and it is a crucial issue for interferometry applications with light or matter waves.…
Consider a branching system with particles moving according to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with drift $\mu>0$ and branching according to a law in the domain of attraction of the $(1+\beta)$-stable distribution. The mean of the branching…
We establish a central limit theorem for counting large continued fraction digits $(a_n)$, i.e. we count occurrences $\{a_n>b_n\}$, where $(b_n)$ is a sequence of positive integers. Our result improves a similar result by Philipp which…
Linear processes are defined as a discrete-time convolution between a kernel and an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random variables. We modify this convolution by introducing decimation, that is, by stretching time accordingly. We then…
In this paper we prove the central limit theorem for the number of clusters formed by the particles of the Arratia flow starting from the interval $[0;n]$ as $n\to\infty$ and obtain an estimate of the Berry-Esseen type for the rate of this…
We establish limiting absorption principles for contractions on a Hilbert space. Our sufficient conditions are based on positive commutator estimates. We discuss the dynamical implications of this principle to the corresponding…
We prove a law of large numbers and a functional central limit theorem for the empirical density of a Marcus-Lushnikov model. The limiting density turns out to be the solution of a Smoluchowski equation, and the fluctuations around this…
In this article we state and prove a dichotomy, which is satisfied by the number of non-singleton blocks in Lambda-coalescents which have a dust component. The dichotomy is of a similar type to two well known results, also dichotomies in…
We consider a branching particle system consisting of particles moving according to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in $\Rd$ and undergoing a binary, supercritical branching with a constant rate $\lambda>0$. This system is known to fulfil a…
Various quantum analogues of the central limit theorem, which is one of the cornerstones of probability theory, are known in the literature. One such analogue, due to Cushen and Hudson, is of particular relevance for quantum optics. It…
