The celebrated Nualart-Peccati criterion [Ann. Probab. 33 (2005) 177-193] ensures the convergence in distribution toward a standard Gaussian random variable $N$ of a given sequence $\{X_n\}_{n\ge1}$ of multiple Wiener-It\^{o} integrals of…

We study the multivariate deconvolution problem of recovering the distribution of a signal from independent and identically distributed observations additively contaminated with random errors (noise) from a known distribution. For errors…

We present a simple criterion, only based on second moment assumptions, for the convergence of polynomial or Wiener chaos to a Gaussian limit. We exploit this criterion to obtain new Gaussian asymptotics for the partition functions of…

Let {F_n} be a normalized sequence of random variables in some fixed Wiener chaos associated with a general Gaussian field, and assume that E[F_n^4] --> E[N^4]=3, where N is a standard Gaussian random variable. Our main result is the…

We compute the exact rates of convergence in total variation associated with the 'fourth moment theorem' by Nualart and Peccati (2005), stating that a sequence of random variables living in a fixed Wiener chaos verifies a central limit…

We consider the imaginary Gaussian multiplicative chaos, i.e. the complex Wick exponential $\mu_\beta := :e^{i\beta \Gamma(x)}:$ for a log-correlated Gaussian field $\Gamma$ in $d \geq 1$ dimensions. We prove a basic density result, showing…

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…

The nonrelativistic standard model for a continuous, one-parameter diffusion process in position space is the Wiener process. As well-known, the Gaussian transition probability density function (PDF) of this process is in conflict with…

As an enhanced version of existing results on Kac's propagation of chaos, which describes the convergence of mean-field particle systems to a system of independent McKean-Vlasov particles as the number of particles tends to infinity, we…

We study the rates of convergence of the posterior distribution for Bayesian density estimation with Dirichlet mixtures of normal distributions as the prior. The true density is assumed to be twice continuously differentiable. The bandwidth…

Inspired by recent advances in singular SPDE theory, we use the Poincar\'e inequality on Wiener space to show that controlled complementary Young regularity is sufficient to obtain Gaussian rough paths lifts. This allows us to completely…

In usual diffusion, the concentration profile, starting from an initial distribution showing sharp features, first gets smooth and then converges to a Gaussian. By considering several examples, we show that the art of convergence to a…
