In this paper, we prove a local limit theorem for the distribution of the number of triangles in the Erdos-Renyi random graph $G(n,p)$, where $p \in (0,1)$ is a fixed constant. Our proof is based on bounding the characteristic function…

We give a local central limit theorem for simple random walks on Z^d, including Gaussian error estimates. The detailed proof combines standard large deviation techniques with Cramer-Edgeworth expansions for lattice distributions.

We study the local limit theorem for weighted sums of Bernoulli variables. We show on examples that this is an important question in the general theory of the local limit theorem, and which turns up to be not well explored. The examples we…

First, we prove a \emph{local almost sure central limit theorem} for lattice random walks in the plane. The corresponding version for random walks in the line was considered by the author in \cite{5}. This gives us a quantitative version of…

We prove error bounds in a central limit theorem for solutions of certain convolution equations. The main motivation for investigating these equations stems from applications to lace expansions, in particular to weakly self-avoiding random…

Let the random variable $X\, :=\, e(\mathcal{H}[B])$ count the number of edges of a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ induced by a random $m$-element subset $B$ of its vertex set. Focussing on the case that the degrees of vertices in $\mathcal{H}$…

Central limit theorems for linear statistics of lattice random fields (including spin models) are usually proven under suitable mixing conditions or quasi-associativity. Many interesting examples of spin models do not satisfy mixing…

We derive a functional central limit theorem for the excursion of a random walk conditioned on sweeping a prescribed geometric area. We assume that the increments of the random walk are integer-valued, centered, with a third moment equal to…

We consider a random walk $(Y_N)_{N\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ generated by successively applying independent random isometries, drawn from a fixed measure $\mu$, to the point $0$. When the support of $\mu$ is finite and includes an…
