A new quantitative central limit theorem on the Wiener space with applications to Gaussian processes

Abstract: Quantitative limit theorems for non-linear functionals on the Wiener space are considered. Given the possibly infinite sequence of kernels of the chaos decomposition of such a functional, an estimate for different probability distances between the functional and a Gaussian random variable in terms of contraction norms of these kernels is derived. The applicability of this result is demonstrated by means of the Breuer-Major theorem, unfolding thereby a new connection between the Hermite rank of the considered function and a chaotic gap. Especially, power variations of the fractional Brownian motion and processes belonging to the Cauchy class are studied.
