Quantitative two-scale stabilization on the Poisson space
arXiv:2010.13362
Abstract
We establish inequalities for assessing the distance between the distribution of a (possibly multidimensional) functional of a Poisson random measure and that of a Gaussian element. Our bounds only involve add-one cost operators at the order one - that we evaluate and compare at two different scales - and are specifically tailored for studying the Gaussian fluctuations of sequences of geometric functionals displaying a form of weak stabilization - see Penrose and Yukich (2001) and Penrose (2005). Our main bounds extend the estimates recently exploited by Chatterjee and Sen (2017) in the proof of a quantitative version of the central limit theorem (CLT) for the length of the Poisson-based Euclidean minimal spanning tree (MST). We develop in full detail three applications of our bounds, namely: (i) to a quantitative multidimensional spatial CLT for functionals of the on-line nearest neighbor graph, (ii) to a quantitative multidimensional CLT involving functionals of the empirical measure associated with the edge-length of the Euclidean MST, and (iii) to a collection of multidimensional CLTs for geometric functionals of the excursion set of heavy-tailed shot noise random fields. Application (i) is based on a collection of general probabilistic approximations for strongly stabilizing functionals, that is of independent interest.
