Abstract: Let (Xt,Yt)tinT be a discrete or continuous-time Markov process with state space XimesRd where X is an arbitrary measurable set. Its transition semigroup is assumed to be additive with respect to the second component, i.e. (Xt,Yt)tinT is assumed to be a Markov additive process. In particular, this implies that the first component (Xt)tinT is also a Markov process. Markov random walks or additive functionals of a Markov process are special instances of Markov additive processes. In this paper, the process (Yt)tinT is shown to satisfy the following classical limit theorems: (a) the central limit theorem, (b) the local limit theorem, (c) the one-dimensional Berry-Esseen theorem, (d) the one-dimensional first-order Edgeworth expansion, provided that we have sup{tin(0,1]cap T : E{pi,0}[|Y_t| ^{alpha}] < 1 with the expected order with respect to the independent case (up to some varepsilon>0 for (c) and (d)). For the statements (b) and (d), a Markov nonlattice condition is also assumed as in the independent case. All the results are derived under the assumption that the Markov process (Xt)tinT has an invariant probability distribution pi, is stationary and has the L2(pi)-spectral gap property (that is, is ho-mixing in the discrete-time case). The case where (Xt)tinT is non-stationary is briefly discussed. As an application, we derive a Berry-Esseen bound for the M-estimators associated with ho-mixing Markov chains.
