2 Reminder Definition (uniform control on cumulants) A sequence (S n ) admits a uniform control on cumulants with DNA (D n, N n, A) and limits σ 2 and L if D n = o(n n ), N n + and r 2, κ (r) (S n ) N n (2D n ) r 1 r r 2 A r ; κ (2) (S n ) N n D n = (σ n ) 2 n σ 2 ; κ (3) (S n ) N n (D n ) 2 = L n n L. This yields mod-gaussian convergence of a suited renormalization of S n, hence deviation probability estimate and a bound on the speed on convergence in a CLT. V.

3 Today s talk See a setting where the inequality above holds: dependency graphs and a weighted variant. Many applications: subword/subgraph counts in random words/graphs, magnetization in Ising model, linear statistics of Markov chains. We will also discuss a weaker framework, which is useful to prove CLT, but where we cannot prove mod-gaussian convergence. V. Féray (UZH) Mod-φ II: dependency graphs Villa Volpi, / 25
4 Dependency graphs Definition (Malyshev, 80, Petrovskaya/Leontovich, 82, Janson, 88) A graph L with vertex set A is a dependency graph for the family {Y α, α A} if if A 1 and A 2 are disconnected subsets in L, then {Y α, α A 1 } and {Y α, α A 2 } are independent. Roughly: there are edges between pairs of dependent random variables. V. Féray (UZH) Mod-φ II: dependency graphs Villa Volpi, / 25

Roughly: there are edges between pairs of dependent random variables. Example 2 (triangles in G(n, p)) Consider G = G(n, p). Let A = { ( [n] 3 ) } (set of potential triangles) and { 1, 2 } E L iff 1 and 2 share an edge in G. Then L is a dependency graph for the family {1 G, ( ) [n] 3 }. V.

11 Applications of dependency graphs to CLT results mathematical modelization of cell populations (Petrovskaya, Leontovich, 82); subgraph counts in random graphs (Janson, Baldi, Rinott, Penrose, 88, 89, 95, 03); Geometric probability (Avram, Bertsimas, Penrose, Yukich, Bárány, Vu, 93, 05, 07); pattern occurrences in random permutations (Bóna, Janson, Hitchenko, Nakamura, Zeilberger, 07, 09, 14). m-dependence (Hoeffding, Robbins, 53,... ; now widely used in statistics) is a special case. (Some of these applications use variants of Janson s normality criterion, which are more technical to state and omitted here... ) V. Féray (UZH) Mod-φ II: dependency graphs Villa Volpi, / 25
