Abstract: We derive a central limit theorem for the number of vertices of convex polytopes induced by stationary Poisson hyperplane processes in

m a t h b b R^{d}

. This result generalizes an earlier one proved by Paroux [Adv. in Appl. Probab. 30 (1998) 640--656] for intersection points of motion-invariant Poisson line processes in

m a t h b b R^{2}

. Our proof is based on Hoeffding's decomposition of

U

-statistics which seems to be more efficient and adequate to tackle the higher-dimensional case than the ``method of moments used in [Adv. in Appl. Probab. 30 (1998) 640--656] to treat the case $d = 2$ . Moreover, we extend our central limit theorem in several directions. First we consider $k$ -flat processes induced by Poisson hyperplane processes in $m a t h b b R^{d}$ for $0 l e k l e d - 1$ . Second we derive (asymptotic) confidence intervals for the intensities of these $k$ -flat processes and, third, we prove multivariate central limit theorems for the $d$ -dimensional joint vectors of numbers of $k$ -flats and their $k$ -volumes, respectively, in an increasing spherical region.
