Minlos and collaborators, one can prove the existence of a spectral gap for a suitable subspace of local functions. We consider functions of the type $f(\\widehat \\eta)$, where $\\widehat \\eta= \\{\\eta_{t}\\}_{t=0}^{\\infty}$ is the sequence of the states, and $f$ is local. In the case of a simple example of random walk in random environment with mutual interaction we show that there is a natural class of functions $f$, related to the H\\\"older continuos functions $\\mathcal C^{\\alpha}$on the torus $T^{1}$, with $\\alpha\\in (0,1)$ large enough, depending on the spectral gap, for which the Central Limit Theorem holds for the sequence $f(S^{k}\\widehat \\eta)$, $k=0,1,\\ldots$, where $S$ is the time shift.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-29T15:42:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local functionals", "weak dependence", "spectral gap", "central limit theorem holds", "infinite markov chains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150107486B" } } }
