On the CLT for rotations and BV functions
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Volume 29 (2022) no. 1, pp. 51-97.

Let xx+αmod1 be a rotation on the circle and let φ be a step function. We denote by φ n (x) the corresponding ergodic sums j=0 n-1 φ(x+jα). For a class of irrational rotations (containing the class with bounded partial quotients) and under a Diophantine condition on the discontinuity points of φ, we show that φ n /φ n 2 is asymptotically Gaussian for n in a set of density 1. The proof is based on decorrelation inequalities for the ergodic sums taken at times q k , where (q k ) is the sequence of denominators of α. Another important point is the control of the variance φ n 2 2 for n belonging to a large set of integers. When α is a quadratic irrational, the size of this set can be precisely estimated.
