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 />
