In this paper, we prove convergence in distribution of Langevin processes in the overdamped asymptotics. The proof relies on the classical perturbed test function (or corrector) method, which is used both to show tightness in path space, and to identify the extracted limit with a martingale problem. The result holds assuming the continuity of the gradient of the potential energy, and a mild control of the initial kinetic energy.

Any (measurable) function $K$ from $mathbb{R}^n$ to $mathbb{R}$ defines an operator $mathbf{K}$ acting on random variables $X$ by $mathbf{K}(X)=K(X_1, ldots, X_n)$, where the $X_j$ are independent copies of $X$. The main result of this paper concerns selectors $H$, continuous functions defined in $mathbb{R}^n$ and such that $H(x_1, x_2, ldots, x_n) in {x_1,x_2, ldots, x_n}$. For each such selector $H$ (except for projections onto a single coordinate) there is a unique point $omega_H$ in the interval $(0,1)$ so that for any random variable $X$ the iterates $mathbf{H}^{(N)}$ acting on $X$ converge in distribution as $N to infty$ to the $omega_H$-quantile of $X$.
We are interested in the genealogical structure of alleles for a Bienayme-Galton-Watson branching process with neutral mutations (infinite alleles model), in the situation where the initial population is large and the mutation rate small. We shall establish that for an appropriate regime, the process of the sizes of the allelic sub-families converges in distribution to a certain continuous state branching process (i.e. a Jirina process) in discrete time. It^os excursion theory and the Leevy-It^o decomposition of subordinators provide fundamental insights for the results.
We consider the probability distributions of values in the complex plane attained by Fourier sums of the form sum_{j=1}^n a_j exp(-2pi i j nu) /sqrt{n} when the frequency nu is drawn uniformly at random from an interval of length 1. If the coefficients a_j are i.i.d. drawn with finite third moment, the distance of these distributions to an isotropic two-dimensional Gaussian on C converges in probability to zero for any pseudometric on the set of distributions for which the distance between empirical distributions and the underlying distribution converges to zero in probability.
We study the weak limits of solutions to SDEs [dX_n(t)=a_nbigl(X_n(t)bigr),dt+dW(t),] where the sequence ${a_n}$ converges in some sense to $(c_- 1mkern-4.5mumathrm{l}_{x<0}+c_+ 1mkern-4.5mumathrm{l}_{x>0})/x+gammadelta_0$. Here $delta_0$ is the Dirac delta function concentrated at zero. A limit of ${X_n}$ may be a Bessel process, a skew Bessel process, or a mixture of Bessel processes.
The Robbins-Monro algorithm is a recursive, simulation-based stochastic procedure to approximate the zeros of a function that can be written as an expectation. It is known that under some technical assumptions, a Gaussian convergence can be established for the procedure. Here, we are interested in the local limit theorem, that is, quantifying this convergence on the density of the involved objects. The analysis relies on a parametrix technique for Markov chains converging to diffusions, where the drift is unbounded.
