Asymptotic laws for regenerative compositions: gamma subordinators and the like (Q2498926)

The random exponentially transfomed set in the interval \([0,1]\) generated by a Gamma subordinator generates clusters for \(n\) uniform random points in \([0,1]\). The authors prove a central limit theorem for the number \(K_n\) of components. The proof is based on the contraction method for the degenerate case of \textit{R. Neininger} and the reviewer [Ann. Probab. 32, No. 3B, 2838--2856 (2004; Zbl 1060.60005)]. The paper complements previous work of the authors for the case that the tail of the Lévy measure is regularly varying at \(0\).
