Azmoodeh et al. established a criterion regarding convergence of the second and other even moments of random variables in a Wiener chaos with fixed order guaranteeing the central convergence of the random variables. This was a major step in studies of the fourth moment theorem. In this paper, we provide further generalizations of the fourth moment theorem by building on their ideas. More precisely, further criteria implying central convergence are provided: (i) the convergence of the fourth and any other even moment, (ii) the convergence of the sixth and some other even moments.","PeriodicalId":48996,"journal":{"name":"Probability and Mathematical Statistics-Poland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69996351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give an elementary proof of a result due to Diaconis and Saloff-Coste (1994) that families of symmetric simple random walks on Cayley graphs of abelian groups with a bound on the number of generators never have sharp cutoff. Here convergence to the stationary distribution is measured in the total variation norm. This is a situation of bounded degree and no expansion; sharp cutoff (or the cutoff phenomenon) has been shown to occur in families such as random walks on a hypercube (Diaco-nis, 1996) in which the degree is unbounded as well as on a random regular graph where the degree is fixed, but there is expansion (Diaconis and Saloff-Coste, 1993).","PeriodicalId":48996,"journal":{"name":"Probability and Mathematical Statistics-Poland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69996743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Probab. 50 (2013), 900–907] derived asymptotic expansions for the partial maximum of a random sam-ple from the logarithmic skew-normal distribution. Here, we derive asymptotic expansions for moments of the partial maximum using optimal norm-ing constants. These expansions can be used to deduce convergence rates of moments of the normalized maxima to the moments of the correspond-ing extreme value distribution. A numerical study is made to compare the actual values of moments with their asymptotics, which shows that the convergence is exceedingly slow, and adjustment is needed whenever we use the limits to replace moments of the partial maximum.","PeriodicalId":48996,"journal":{"name":"Probability and Mathematical Statistics-Poland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69996692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
