Abstract

Let \(\mu \) be a probability measure on \(\textrm{GL}_d(\mathbb {R})\) and denote by \(S_n:= g_n \cdots g_1\) the associated random matrix product, where \(g_j\)’s are i.i.d.’s with law \(\mu \). We study statistical properties of random variables of the form

$$\begin{aligned} \sigma (S_n,x) + u(S_n x), \end{aligned}$$

where \(x \in \mathbb {P}^{d-1}\), \(\sigma \) is the norm cocycle and u belongs to a class of admissible functions on \(\mathbb {P}^{d-1}\) with values in \(\mathbb {R}\cup \{\pm \infty \}\). Assuming that \(\mu \) has a finite exponential moment and generates a proximal and strongly irreducible semigroup, we obtain optimal Berry–Esseen bounds and the Local Limit Theorem for such variables using a large class of observables on \(\mathbb {R}\) and Hölder continuous target functions on \(\mathbb {P}^{d-1}\). As particular cases, we obtain new limit theorems for \(\sigma (S_n,x)\) and for the coefficients of \(S_n\).

Notes

  1. The notation \(H_y\) was used before to denote a hyperplane in \(\mathbb {P}^{d-1}\). There should be no confusion with a real-valued function H on \(\mathbb R\) above.
