The Central Limit Theorem is one of the cornerstones of probability and statistics, and finds applications in a number of disciplines including number theory, random matrix theory and mathematical physics. This workshop will have four talks on recent results, both from the viewpoint of theoretical methods to prove convergence, and in terms of application areas.

Speakers

Friedrich Götze

Giovanni Peccati – Non-Universal second order behaviour of the nodal sets generated by arithmetic random waves

Irina Shevtsova – On the accuracy of the normal approximation to sums of independent random variables

Christopher Hughes – The Central Limit Theorem, and beyond, in number theory
