Abstract: We prove results concerning the weak convergence to the uniform distribution on [0, 1] of sequences (Zn)n≥1 of the form Zn = Yn (mod 1)= {Yn}, where (Yn)n≥1 is a general sequence of real random variables. Applications are given: (i) to the case of partial sums of (i.i.d.) random variables having a distribution belonging to the domain of attraction of a stable law; (ii) to the case of sample maxima of i.i.d random variables.
