Dense graph limit theory is essentially a first-order limit theory analogous to the classical Law of Large Numbers. Is there a corresponding central limit theorem? We believe so. Using the language of Gaussian Hilbert Spaces and the comprehensive theory of generalised U-statistics developed by Svante Janson in the 90s, we identify a collection of Gaussian measures (aka white noise processes) that describes the fluctuations of all orders of magnitude for a broad family of random graphs. We complement the theory with error bounds using a new variant of Stein’s method for multivariate normal approximation, which allows us to also generalise Janson’s theory in some important aspects. This is joint work with Gursharn Kaur.
