We consider the dynamical system given by an algebraic ergodic automorphism T on a torus. We study a Central Limit Theorem for the empirical process associated to the stationary process (f◦Ti)i∈ℕ, where f is a given ℝ-valued function. We give a sufficient condition on f for this Central Limit Theorem to hold. In the second part, we prove that the distribution function of a Morse function is continuously differentiable if the dimension of the manifold is at least three and Hölder continuous if the dimension is one or two. As a consequence, the Morse functions satisfy the empirical invariance principle, which is therefore generically verified.

We consider the first passage percolation problem on the random graph with vertex set N x {0, 1}, edges joining vertices at a Euclidean distance equal to unity, and independent exponential edge weights. We provide a central limit theorem for the first passage times l n between the vertices (0, 0) and (n, 0), thus extending earlier results about the almost-sure convergence of l n / n as n → ∞. We use generating function techniques to compute the n-step transition kernels of a closely related Markov chain which can be used to explicitly calculate the asymptotic variance in the central limit theorem.
