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…
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…

Consider $F$ an element of the second Wiener chaos with variance one. In full generality, we show that, for every integer $p\ge 1$, there exists $\eta_p>0$ such that if $\kappa_4(F)<\eta_p$ then the Malliavin derivative of $F$ admits a…
We analyze from the viewpoint of an abstract Markov operator recent results by Nualart and Peccati, and Nourdin and Peccati, on the fourth moment as a condition on a Wiener chaos to have a distribution close to Gaussian. In particular, we…

Stein's method is used to prove limit theorems for random character ratios. Tools are developed for four types of structures: finite groups, Gelfand pairs, twisted Gelfand pairs, and association schemes. As one example an error term is…
The moving average of the complex modulus of the analytic wavelet transform provides a robust time-scale representation for signals to small time shifts and deformation. In this work, we derive the Wiener chaos expansion of this…
