Abstract : We present a functional central limit theorem for a new class of interaction Markov chain Monte Carlo interpretations of discrete generation measure valued equations. We provide an original stochastic analysis based on semigroup techniques on distribution spaces and fluctuation theorems for self-interaction random fields. Besides the fluctuation analysis of these models, we also present a series of sharp $\LL_m$-mean error bounds in terms of the semigroup associated with the first order expansion of the limiting measure valued process, yielding what seems to be the first results of this type for this class of interacting processes. We illustrate these results in the context of Feynman-Kac integration semigroups arising in physics, biology and stochastic engineering science.
