11 Two examples<br />

The theory developed in the previous sections (along with its re…nements <strong>and</strong> generalizations –<br />

see Section 12) has been already applied in a variety of frameworks. In particular:<br />

In [57], Theorem 9.1 <strong>and</strong> Proposition 10.1 are applied in order to deduce explicit Berry-<br />

Esséen bounds for the so-called Breuer-Major CLT (see [5]), involving Hermite-type transformations<br />

of fractional Brownian motion. This analysis is further developed in [4], [58]<br />

<strong>and</strong> [60]<br />

The paper [58] contains applications to Toepliz quadratic forms in continuous time –see<br />

e.g. [30] <strong>and</strong> the references therein.<br />

In [60] one can also …nd multi<strong>dimensional</strong> generalizations of Chatterjee’s result (9.7).<br />

Reference [62] contains an application of (9.3) to the proof of in…nite-<strong>dimensional</strong> secondorder<br />

Poincaré inequalities on Wiener space.<br />

In [64], relation (7.30) is exploited in order to provide a new explicit expression for the<br />

densities of functionals of isonormal <strong>Gaussian</strong> processes.<br />

In [97], one can …nd applications to tail bounds on <strong>Gaussian</strong> functionals <strong>and</strong> polymer<br />

models.<br />

Remark. Apart from the previous references, the applications to fractional Brownian motion<br />

<strong>and</strong> density estimation are discussed in the lecture notes [53].<br />

In what follows, we shall present two further applications of the previous results. The …rst<br />

one (basically taken from [58]) focuses on exploding quadratic functionals of a Brownian sheet<br />

– thus completing the discussion contained in Section 2. The second one involves Hermite<br />

transformations of multiparameter Ornstein-Uhlenebck <strong>Gaussian</strong> processes, <strong>and</strong> is new (albeit<br />

it is inspired by the last section of [70]).<br />

11.1 Exploding Quadratic functionals of a Brownian sheet<br />

11.1.1 Statement of the problem<br />

Let d 1, <strong>and</strong> let<br />

W =<br />

nW (t 1 ; :::; t d ) : (t 1 ; :::; t d ) 2 [0; 1] do<br />

be a st<strong>and</strong>ard Brownian sheet on [0; 1] d . Recall that this means that W is a continuous centered<br />

<strong>Gaussian</strong> process with a covariance function given by<br />

E [W (t 1 ; :::; t d ) W (s 1 ; :::; s d )] =<br />

dY<br />

(t j ^ s j ) :<br />

j=1<br />
