. In this paper, following Nourdin-Peccati’s methodology, we combine the Malliavin calculus and Stein’s method to provide general bounds on the Wasserstein distance between the law of functionals of a compound Hawkes process and the one of a Gaussian random variable. To achieve this, we rely on the Poisson imbedding representation of a Hawkes process to provide a Malliavin calculus for the Hawkes processes, and more generally for compound Hawkes processes. As an application, we close a gap in the literature by providing a quantitative Central Limit Theorem

In this work we investigate a bootstrap percolation process on random graphs generated by a random graph model which combines preferential attachment and edge insertion between previously existing vertices. The probabilities of adding either a new vertex or a new connection between previously added vertices are time dependent and given by a function $f$ called the edge-step function. We show that under integrability conditions over the edge-step function the graphs are highly susceptible to the spread of infections, which requires only $3$ steps to infect a positive fraction of the whole graph. To prove this result, we rely on a quantitative lower bound for the maximum degree that might be of independent interest.

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are $ptimes n$ matrices each with mean $0$, variance $1$ and where all moments of any order are uniformly bounded as $p,n to infty$. Moreover, the entries $(X_{ij}, Y_{ij})$ are independent across $i,j$ with a common correlation $rho$. Let $C=n^{-1}XY^*$ be the sample cross-covariance matrix. We show that if $n, pto infty, p/nto yneq 0$, then $C$ converges in the algebraic sense and the limit moments depend only on $rho$. Independent copies of such matrices with same $p$ but different $n$, say ${n_l}$, different correlations ${rho_l}$, and different non-zero $y$'s, say ${y_l}$ also converge jointly and are asymptotically free. When $y=0$, the matrix $sqrt{np^{-1}}(C-rho I_p)$ converges to an elliptic variable with parameter $rho^2$. In particular, this elliptic variable is circular when $rho=0$ and is semi-circular when $rho=1$. If we take independent $C_l$, then the matrices ${sqrt{n_lp^{-1}}(C_l-rho_l I_p)}$ converge jointly and are also asymptotically free. As a consequence, the limiting spectral distribution of any symmetric matrix polynomial exists and has compact support.

We prove a concentration phenomenon on the empirical eigenvalue distribution (EED) of the principal submatrix in a random hermitian matrix whose distribution is invariant under unitary conjugacy; for example, this class includes GUE (Gaussian Unitary Ensemble) and Wishart matrices. More precisely, if the EED of the whole matrix converges to some deterministic probability measure m, then its fluctuation from the EED of the principal submatrix, after a rescaling, concentrates at the Rayleigh measure (in general, a Schwartz distribution) associated with m by the Markov–Krein correspondence. For the proof, we use the moment method with Weingarten calculus and free probability. At some stage of calculations, the proof requires a relation between the moments of the Rayleigh measure and free cumulants of m. This formula is more or less known, but we provide a different proof by observing a combinatorial structure of non-crossing partitions.
