21 (((
22 The aim of the course is to combine two probabilistic techniques, namely the Malliavin calculus and Stein's method to study the Gaussian and non-Gaussian approximations of non-linear functionals of infinite-dimensional Gaussian fields. One of the main objectives of the course is to prove an interesting result in modern theory of probabilistic approximations known nowadays as the fourth moment theorem.
