%0 Journal Article %T A note on statistical properties for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems with slow contraction and expansion %A Ian Melbourne %A Paulo Varandas %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We provide a systematic approach for deducing statistical limit laws via martingale-coboundary decomposition, for nonuniformly hyperbolic systems with slowly contracting and expanding directions. In particular, if the associated return time function is square-integrable, then we obtain the central limit theorem, the weak invariance principle, and an iterated version of the weak invariance principle. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.7854v2
