Counterexamples in the Central Limit Theory of Markov Chains

  • Olle Haggstrom | Chalmers, Sweden

My involvements in the study of central limit theorems for Markov chains tend to be of the following form: I learn from Jeff Rosenthal about something that is believed to hold, and a counterexample that overthrows the belief soon presents itself. I will recall a couple of such events, and explain the (fairly instructive) counterexamples.
