Gaussian approximation for Extreme Points in Laguerre tessellations

TL;DR
The article analyzes Gaussian approximations for the number of extreme points in Poisson-Laguerre tessellations across $\beta$-, $\beta'$-, and Gaussian-Voronoi models. Using region stabilization within a general quantitative CLT framework, it proves a central limit theorem for the count $F_n(\eta)$ of extreme seeds in the growing window $W_n=[-n,n]^d$, with variance of order $n^d$ and convergence rates $d_W$ and $d_K$ of order $n^{-d/2}$ (Kolmogorov rate shown to be optimal). Tail bounds for the coverage time and variance lower bounds underpin the stabilization analysis and enable the explicit rate claims. The $\beta'$-model requires a stronger condition $\beta>5d+1$ due to non-integrable interaction terms, and the Gaussian model is treated as a scaling limit.Together, the results extend previous quantitative CLTs for the $\beta$-model to the $\beta'$ and Gaussian models and provide a robust methodology for further weighted-functionals of extreme points.
Abstract
We consider Gaussian approximation in three particular models of Poisson-Laguerre tessellations, namely, the $β$-, $β'$- and Gaussian-Voronoi tessellations. The tessellations are constructed based on inhomogeneous Poisson point processes in space-time $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}$, where some of the points of the process give rise to a cell in $\mathbb{R}^d$, known as extreme points, while the other points produce an empty cell. Using the notion of region-stabilization, we derive quantitative central limit theorems with presumably optimal rates of convergence for the number of extreme points of $β$-, $β'$- and Gaussian-Voronoi tessellations in a growing window $W_n=[-n,n]^d$ as $n\to\infty$. Our bounds improve and extend previously known results by Schreiber and Yukich (2008) for the $β$-model, and are the first quantitative results for the $β'$- and Gaussian models.
