Abstract

For any finite family of Poisson multiple integrals and any finite $p\geq2$, we construct a common increasing filtration generated by finitely many exact Poisson counts such that the associated conditional expectations converge in $L^p$, remain in their original chaoses, and have bounded step kernels with finite-measure support. This finite-count martingale core allows regular fixed-chaos identities and estimates to be extended under the sole assumption of a finite fourth moment. In particular, if $F$ lives in a Poisson chaos with unit variance and finite fourth moment, we prove that the Kolmogorov distance between $F$ and a standard normal is bounded by $15.6(\mathbb{E}[F^4]-3)^{1/2}$. This removes Assumptions $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf A^{\textbf{loc}}$ from the Kolmogorov bound of D\"obler and Peccati (Ann. Probab., 2018). We also obtain quantitative $L^4$ estimates for all iterated Malliavin derivatives and, for $F$ in a Poisson chaos, the fourth moment assumption of $F$ forces the $L^4$-integrability of its kernel.

Optimal Sobolev Rate for Gaussian Density Approximation of Wiener Chaos Vectors

Let $(F_n)$ be a sequence of random vectors with identity covariance matrix whose components belong to the same fixed Wiener chaos, and assume that $F_n$ converges in law to a standard Gaussian vector. We prove that, for every integer $m\geq0$ and every $p\in[1,\infty]$, the optimal rate of convergence of the densities...

Gaussian Approximation for Multivariate Martingale Sums from Uniformly Ergodic Markov Chains

We develop Gaussian approximation bounds in higher-order Wasserstein distance $W_p$, $p\geq2$, for sums of multivariate martingale differences generated by a uniformly ergodic Markov chain. Under an $L^{(2+\eta)p}$-moment condition with $\eta>0$, we establish the explicit bound $$ O\left( p^3 \|A\|_4^2 + pd^{1/4}\|A\|_...

Small Counterexamples to the Gaussian Moments Conjecture

We give explicit complex polynomials $P,Q$ in three independent standard real Gaussian variables such that \[ {\mathbb E}(P^m)=0,\qquad {\mathbb E}(QP^m)=m!\neq0 \] for every $m\geq1$. In natural complex linear coordinates, $P$ has five terms and total degree $4$. Hence the Gaussian Moments Conjecture is false in every...

A Gamma envelope and sharp moment inequalities for Gaussian quadratic forms

We study extremal absolute central moments of Gaussian quadratic forms under a fixed Frobenius norm. For a nonzero real symmetric matrix $M$ and $G\sim N(0,I_n)$, we construct an explicit centered difference of Gamma variables with the same mean, variance, and third centered moment as $G^{\mathsf T}MG-\operatorname{tr}...

Sharp Threshold for Universality of Rational Canonical Forms over a Finite Field

We study the rational canonical form of sparse random matrices over a finite field. Suppose $A_n\in \operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ has independent and $\alpha_n$-balanced entries. We prove that if $$ \liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{n\alpha_n}{\log n}>1, $$ then, for every fixed collection of distinct monic irreducible p...

Optimal Hardy Inequalities for Random Walks on $\mathbb{Z}^2$

We prove an optimal Hardy inequality for every aperiodic, symmetric random walk in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with finite variance. In particular, we verify null-criticality, and thus, optimality of the underlying Hardy weight. Under suitable moment conditions, we use fine asymptotics of the potential kernel due to Fukai and Uchiy...
