Central Limit Theorem for symmetric Beta Distribution
$begingroup$
Prove that for $X_nsim Beta(n,n)$ $$2sqrt{2n}left( X_n-frac{1}{2}right)Rightarrowmathscr N(0,1)$$ in distribution as $nrightarrowinfty$.
Let $Y_n$ and $Z_n$ be $Gamma(n,1)$ independent random variables. Then using the facts, that $$X_n=frac{Y_n}{Y_n+Z_n},$$ and that both $Y_n$ and $Z_n$ are sum of independent $Exp(1)$ random variables, I can apply CLT to those, so both $Y_n$ and $Y_n+Z_n$ are normally distributed. Then I can use the delta method to show, that $X_n$ is normally distributed also.
That is the part where I get confused. Shall I apply the delta method to $Y_n$ with $g(x)=frac{x}{x+Z_n}$?

Maybe not the method you need/prefer, but if you define $T_n=2sqrt{2n}(X_n-1/2)$, the pdf of $T_n$ is
$$
f_{T_n}(t)=frac{1}{B(n,n)}int_0^1 dx x^{n-1}(1-x)^{n-1}delta(t-2sqrt{2n}x+sqrt{2n}) ,
$$
where $B(alpha,beta)$ is a Beta function. Therefore
$$
f_{T_n}(t)=frac{mathbf{1}_{-sqrt{2n}<t<sqrt{2n}}}{2sqrt{2n}B(n,n)}left(frac{t+sqrt{2n}}{2sqrt{2n}}right)^{n-1}left(1-frac{t+sqrt{2n}}{2sqrt{2n}}right)^{n-1}to frac{e^{-frac{t^2}{2}}}{sqrt{2 pi }} ,
$$
as $ntoinfty$.

One can use the multivariate version of the delta method:
Assume that $a_n to infty$ and $a_n(T_n - mu) stackrel{d}{to} U$ where $T_n,mu,U in mathbb R^d$. Then, under mild regularity assumptions on $f:mathbb R^d to mathbb R$, we have
begin{align*}
sqrt{n} big(f(T_n) - f(mu)big) stackrel{d}{to} J_mu U
end{align*}
where $J_mu$ is the Jacobian matrix of $f$ evaluated at $mu$, that is $ [J_mu]_{ij} = partial f_i / partial x_j ; big|_{x = mu}$.
In this example, let $bar Y_n = Y_n / n$ and $bar Z_n = Z_n/n$. Then, by the multivariate CLT (or arguing by independence from univariate CLT), we have
begin{align*}
sqrt{n} Big[
begin{pmatrix}
bar Y_n \ bar Z_n
end{pmatrix} -
begin{pmatrix}
1 \ 1
end{pmatrix}
Big]
stackrel{d}{to} U :=
begin{pmatrix}
U_1 \ U_2
end{pmatrix} sim N(0,I_2).
end{align*}
Let $f(y,z) = y/(y+z)$. The Jacobian can be identified with a row vector $$Big[frac{z}{(y+z)^2},; frac{-y}{(y+z)^2}Big].$$ Since $X_n = f(bar Y_n, bar Z_n)$, we have by the multivariate delta method
begin{align*}
sqrt{n} big( X_n - f((1,1))big) stackrel{d}{to}
begin{bmatrix}
1/4 & -1/4
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
U_1 \ U_2
end{bmatrix} = frac{U_1-U_2}{4} sim N(0, frac18).
end{align*}
Rescaling, we have $sqrt{8n} (X_n - 1/2) stackrel{d}{to} N(0,1)$, the desired result.
