Approximation Thorems for Independent and Weakly Dependent Random Vectors

In this paper we prove approximation theorems of the following type. Let $\{X_k, k \geqslant 1\}$ be a sequence of random variables with values in $\mathbb{R}^{d_k}, d_k \geqslant 1$ and let $\{G_k, k \geqslant 1\}$ be a sequence of probability distributions on $\mathbb{R}^{d_k}$ with characteristic functions $g_k$ respectively. If for each $k \geqslant 1$ the conditional characteristic function of $X_k$ given $X_1, \cdots, X_{k - 1}$ is close to $g_k$ and if $G_k$ has small tails, then there exists a sequence of independent random variables $Y_k$ with distribution $G_k$ such that $|X_k - Y_k|$ is small with large probability. As an application we prove almost sure invariance principles for sums of independent identically distributed random variables with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and for sums of $\phi$-mixing random variables with a logarithmic mixing rate.
