Abstract

We prove a functional limit theorem for vector-valued functionals of the fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, providing the foundation for the fluctuation theory of slow/fast systems driven by both long- and short-range-dependent noise. The limit process has both Gaussian and non-Gaussian components. The theorem holds for any L^2 functions, whereas for functions with stronger integrability properties the convergence is shown to hold in the Hölder topology, the rough topology for processes in C^{frac{1}{2}+}. This leads to a ‘rough creation’ / ‘rough homogenization’ theorem, by which we mean the weak convergence of a family of random smooth curves to a non-Markovian random process with non-differentiable sample paths. In particular, we obtain effective dynamics for the second-order problem and for the kinetic fractional Brownian motion model.

Highlights

  • The functional limit theorem we study here lays the foundation for the fluctuation problem for a slow/fast system with the fast variable given by a family of non-strong mixing stochastic processes, this will be discussed in [19], see [18] for the preliminary

  • A pivot theorem for obtaining effective dynamics for the slow moving particles in a fast turbulent environment are scaling limit theorems for the convergence of the following functionals

  • There exists no vector valued functional limit theorem with joint convergence, when the scaling limit of the components are mixed, in this article we provide a complete description for the joint convergence of {X k,ε} for Gk ∈ L2(μ)

Summary

Introduction

The functional limit theorem we study here lays the foundation for the fluctuation problem for a slow/fast system with the fast variable given by a family of non-strong mixing stochastic processes, this will be discussed in [19], see [18] for the preliminary. They obtained uniform convergences in the continuous topology for a restrictive class of functions G (assuming sufficiently fast decay of the coefficients in the Wiener chaos expansion) This was extended in [30] to vector valued X ε, when each component of X ε falls in the Brownian case, with convergence understood in the sense of finite dimensional distributions. For Gk satisfying a stronger integrability condition, we can show weak convergence in the Cα([0, T ], Rd )-topology and for each fixed time in L2 for the low Hermite rank case, which already have interesting applications They are the basis for the convergence in a suitable rough topology, which due to the change of the nature of the problem will appear in [18] where rough path theory is used to study slow/fast systems, leading to ‘rough creation’ / ‘rough homogenization’ in which the effective limit is not necessarily a Markov process. Fε → U and Gε → V weakly imply that (Fε, Gε) → (U , V ) jointly, where U and V are taken to be independent random variables
