    Convergence of the Fourth Moment and Infinite Divisibility

    Full text link
    In this note we prove that, for infinitely divisible laws, convergence of the fourth moment to 3 is sufficient to ensure convergence in law to the Gaussian distribution. Our results include infinitely divisible measures with respect to classical, free, Boolean and monotone convolution. A similar criterion is proved for compound Poissons with jump distribution supported on a finite number of atoms. In particular, this generalizes recent results of Nourdin and Poly.Comment: 10 page

    Convergence of the Fourth Moment and Infinite Divisibility: Quantitative estimates

    Full text link
    We give an estimate for the Kolmogorov distance between an infinitely divisible distribution (with mean zero and variance one) and the standard Gaussian distribution in terms of the difference between the fourth moment and 3. In a similar fashion we give an estimate for the Kolmogorov distance between a freely infinitely divisible distribution and the Semicircle distribution in terms of the difference between the fourth moment and 2.Comment: 12 page
