Berry-Esseen bound and Local Limit Theorem for the coefficients of products of random matrices

Abstract

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\text{GL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ and denote by $S_n:= g_n \cdots g_1$ the associated random matrix product, where $g_j$ are i.i.d. with law $\mu$. Under the assumptions that $\mu$ has a finite exponential moment and generates a proximal and strongly irreducible semigroup, we prove a Berry-Esseen bound with the optimal rate $O(1/\sqrt n)$ and a general Local Limit Theorem for the coefficients of $S_n$.
