Comments are welcome!", "categories": [ "math.DS", "math.PR" ], "abstract": "In this paper we establish a general dynamical Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for group actions which are exponentially mixing of all orders. In particular, the main result applies to Cartan flows on finite-volume quotients of simple Lie groups. Our proof uses a novel relativization of the classical method of cumulants, which should be of independent interest. As a sample application of our techniques, we show that the CLT holds along lacunary samples of the horocycle flow on finite-area hyperbolic surfaces applied to any smooth compactly supported function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-28T08:29:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "group actions", "exponentially mixing", "general dynamical central limit theorem", "finite-area hyperbolic surfaces", "main result applies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
