Stein's method and Malliavin calculus

- I maintain a special webpage on Stein's method and Malliavin calculus (comments are most welcome!)

- With Giovanni Peccati, in 2012 we wrote a book entitled "Normal Approximations Using Malliavin Calculus: from Stein's Method to Universality" that provides an introduction both to Stein's method and Malliavin calculus, from the standpoint of normal approximations on a Gaussian space.

- Between January and March 2012, I delivered a series of lectures of three hours each (except for the first lecture, which was `only' two hours and was followed by a cocktail party) in the prestigious Collège de France. I spoke mainly about my recent works on Stein's method, Malliavin calculus and free probability. Here was the dedicated poster. Also, by following this link, you can download the associated lecture notes (to be published in the Séminaire de Probabilités). Here is another link, where you can watch the videos of the lectures.
