Tóm tắt

This paper deals with moduli of continuity for paths of random processes indexed by a general metric space $$\Theta $$ with values in a general metric space $${{\mathcal {X}}}$$ . Adapting the moment condition on the increments from the classical Kolmogorov–Chentsov theorem, the obtained result on the modulus of continuity allows for Hölder-continuous modifications if the metric space $${{\mathcal {X}}}$$ is complete. This result is universal in the sense that its applicability depends only on the geometry of the space $$\Theta $$ . In particular, it is always applicable if $$\Theta $$ is a bounded subset of a Euclidean space or a relatively compact subset of a connected Riemannian manifold. The derivation is based on refined chaining techniques developed by Talagrand. As a consequence of the main result, a criterion is presented to guarantee uniform tightness of random processes with continuous paths. This is applied to find central limit theorems for Banach-valued random processes.
