DESCRIPTION:Zixin Ye (University of Manchester) will speak at the Probabi
 lity seminar.\n\nTitle: Berry-Esseen type bounds for the stable central 
 limit theorem via Stein’s method.\n\n\nAbstract: The stable central limi
 t theorem is a generalisation of the classical central limit theorem tha
 t relaxes the finite variance assumption. Quantifying the quality of the
  distributional approximation of the stable central limit theorem is a f
 undamental problem in probability\, which has seen a number of contribut
 ions over years. In particular\, there have been recent advances on this
  problem using Stein's method in which the stable central limit theorem 
 is quantified with respect to Wasserstein-type distances. In this talk\,
  we use Stein's method to derive optimal rates of convergence in the mul
 tivariate stable central limit theorem in terms of the convex distance\,
  which is a natural multivariate generalisation of the Kolmogorov distan
 ce. Our bounds are derived by combining the recent advances on Stein's m
 ethod for alpha-stable distributions together with a powerful smoothing 
 technique.
