Nonconventional Poisson limit theorems

Abstract: The classical Poisson theorem says that if

x i_{1}, x i_{2}, ...

are i.i.d. 0--1 Bernoulli random variables taking on 1 with probability

p_{n} e q u i v l a / n

then the sum

S_{n} = s u m_{i = 1}^{n} x i_{i}

is asymptotically in

n

Poisson distributed with the parameter

l a

. It turns out that this result can be extended to sums of the form

S_{n} = s u m_{i = 1}^{n} x i_{q_{1} (i)} ... x i_{q_{e} l l (i)}

where now

p_{n} e q u i v (l a / n)^{1 / e l l}

and

1 l e q q_{1} (i) < ... < q_{e} l l (i)

are integer valued increasing functions. We obtain also Poissonian limit for numbers of arrivals to small sets of

e l l

-tuples

X_{q_{1} (i)}, ..., X_{q_{e} l l (i)}

for some Markov chains

X_{n}

and for numbers of arrivals of

T^{q_{1} (i)} x, ..., T^{q_{e} l l (i)} x

to small cylinder sets for typical points

x

of a subshift of finite type

T

.
