Let \(Q\) be a linear symmetric and bounded operator mapping \(\mathbb{R}^d\) into \(\mathbb{R}^d\). Let us put \(Q[x]= \langle Qx,x\rangle\), \(x\in\mathbb{R}^d\). Assume \(Q\) is non-degenerate. Let \(\{X, X_1, X_2,\dots\}\) and \(\{Y, Y_1, Y_2,\dots\}\) be sequences of random vectors taking values in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) and such that \(L(Y)= e(L(X))\). Assume \(X\) is not concentrated on a proper closed linear subspace of \(\mathbb{R}^d\). Let us put \(S_N= N^{-1/2}(X_1+\cdots+ X_n)\), \(T_N= N^{-1/2}(Y_1+\cdots+ Y_N)\). The authors investigate the rate of approximation of the distribution of the sum of i.i.d. random vectors by the accompanying laws on the balls, ellipsoids and hyperboloids. The main result gives the following theorem: Assume that \(9\leq d\leq\infty\). Let \(EX= 0\), and \(E| X|^{8/3}<\infty\). Then \[ \sup_x| P\{Q[S_N- a]< x\}- P\{Q[T_N- a]< x\}|= O((1+| a|^4) N^{-1}), \] and the constant in this bound depends on \(E| X|^{8/3}\), on \(Q\) and the covariance operator of \(X\) only. The authors also prove that the presented rate of convergence cannot be faster.
