Jul 1, 2014 at 13:25 comment added Ian Morris Michael T. Lacey (On central limit theorems, modulus of continuity and Diophantine type for irrational rotations, Journal d'Analyse Mathématique 61 (1993) 47-59) investigates the precise maximum possible Hoelder exponent of a continuous function over an irrational rotation which satisfies a functional CLT, giving this maximum in terms of the irrationality measure of the rotation number. Perhaps this is of interest.

Jun 30, 2014 at 19:45 comment added Christian Remling @MarcinKotowski I am aware of that. What I was trying to say was that a circle rotation is as non-random as possible (given that it's ergodic); for example, it has pure point spectrum. Of course, I said it in a maximally misleading way.

Jun 30, 2014 at 10:28 comment added Marcin Kotowski @Christian: CLT does hold for dynamical systems which are sufficiently ergodic (e.g. hyperbolic actions on a torus). So independence is far from necessary for CLT to hold.
Jun 30, 2014 at 1:00 comment added Anthony Quas There is a paper of Harry Kesten (Uniform Distribution Mod 1) published in the Annals in 1960 -- also a follow-up paper a couple of years later, dealing with the case where $f$ is a characteristic function minus its expectation, and showing the limit distribution is Cauchy
Jun 30, 2014 at 0:51 comment added Christian Remling Maybe you're more looking for something along the lines of "error estimates in the ergodic theorem." See for example this question: mathoverflow.net/questions/4411/…
Jun 30, 2014 at 0:44 comment added Christian Remling Wouldn't anything resembling the CLT be a miracle in this situation? After all, the summands are anything but independent.

Jun 29, 2014 at 20:59 comment added Douglas Zare What sort of conditions do you impose on $f$? You mention smooth functions but your example is not smooth. It looks like you are assuming that $\int_{S^1} f(z) ds = 0$.
