Stable limit theorems on the Poisson space

Abstract

We prove limit theorems for functionals of a Poisson point process using the Malliavin calculus on the Poisson space. The target distribution is conditionally either a Gaussian vector or a Poisson random variable. The convergence is stable and our conditions are expressed in terms of the Malliavin operators. For conditionally Gaussian limits, we also obtain quantitative bounds, given for the Monge-Kantorovich transport distance in the univariate case; and for another probabilistic variational distance in higher dimension. Our work generalizes several limit theorems on the Poisson space, including the seminal works by Peccati, Sol\'e, Taqqu & Utzet for Gaussian approximations; and by Peccati for Poisson approximations; as well as the recently established fourth-moment theorem on the Poisson space of D\"obler & Peccati. We give an application to stochastic processes.
