Given an increasing sequence of domains $(D_n) \\subset \\N^d$, a question is the convergence in distribution of the normalized sequence $|D_n|^{-\\frac12} \\sum_{{\\k} \\, \\in D_n} \\, f \\circ T^{\\,{\\k}}$, for $f \\in L^2_0(\\mu)$, where $T^{\\k}= T_1^{k_1} ... T_d^{k_d}$, ${\\k}= (k_1, ..., k_d) \\in {\\N}^d$. After a preliminary spectral study when the action of $\\Cal S$ has a Lebesgue spectrum, we consider $\\N^d$- or $\\Z^d$-actions given by commuting toral automorphisms or endomorphisms on $\\T^\\rho$, $\\rho \\geq 1$. For a totally ergodic action by automorphisms, we show a CLT for the above normalized sequence or other summation methods like barycenters, as well as a criterion of non-degeneracy of the variance, when $f$ is regular on the torus. A CLT is also proved for some semigroups of endomorphisms. Classical results on the existence and the construction of such actions by automorphisms are recalled.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-16T14:52:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "central limit theorem", "toral endomorphisms", "commutative semigroups", "normalized sequence", "preliminary spectral study" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.4556C" } } }
