TITLE: Central limit theorems in spatial probability via martingales
The classical central limit theorem for martingale differences, which
dates back to Levy, has recently been shown to have fruitful applications
in showing that various functionals of a spatial white noise process
observed in a large window, are approximately normally distributed.
The method has applications to percolation, to spatial epidemics, and to
functions of spatial point patterns. We shall discuss some of these.
