The probability generating functions of such random variables are polynomials of degree $n$. Under the assumption that the roots of these polynomials are either all real or all lie on the unit circle in the complex plane, a quantitative normal approximation bound for $X_n$ is established in a unified way. In the real rooted case the result is classical and only involves the variances of $X_n$, while in the cyclotomic case the fourth cumulants or moments of $X_n$ appear in addition. The proofs are elementary and based on the Stein-Tikhomirov method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-17T18:57:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "60F05" ], "keywords": [ "fourth moment theorem", "cyclotomic generating functions", "random variables", "quantification", "quantitative normal approximation bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
