Berkes' limit theorem

Abstract

In Berkes' striking paper of the early 1990s, he presented another limit theorem different from the central limit theorem for a lacunary trigonometric series not satisfying Erdős' lacunary condition. In this paper, we upgrade his result to the limit theorem having high versatility, which we would call Berkes' limit theorem. By this limit theorem, it is explained in a unified way that Fukuyama–Takahashi's counterexample and Takahashi's counterexample are all convergent to limiting distributions of the same type as Berkes.
