Convergence in the Wasserstein distance always implies convergence in the Kolmogorov distance at a possibly weaker rate. But there are many examples of central limit theorems having the same rate for both distances. The aim of this paper is to show this behaviour for a large class of Poisson functionals, namely so-called U-statistics of Poisson point processes. The technique used by Peccati et al. is modified to establish a similar bound for the Kolmogorov distance of a Poisson functional and a Gaussian random variable. This bound is evaluated for a U-statistic, and it is shown that the resulting expression is up to a constant the same as it is for the Wasserstein distance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-06-06T09:31:33.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-09-08T08:55:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60H07", "60G55" ], "keywords": [ "poisson functional", "kolmogorov distance", "normal approximation", "wasserstein distance", "gaussian random variable" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.3967S" } } }
