I gave today a lecture in the conference in honor of F. Delbaen at ETH, and since the rooms were not suitable for blackboard talks, I prepared a beamer talk. I’ve put up the slides on the web for any interested reader; the topic was a survey of the general ideas surrounding my papers with A. Nikeghbali, J. Jacod, A. Barbour, and F. Delbaen on mod-gaussian convergence, mod-Poisson convergence, and related limiting behavior of sequences of random variables. I have posted about this a few times before, but not about all of the results. All the corresponding papers and preprints can be found on my home page.
