Abstract: The aim of this paper is to prove a stretched-exponential bound for the decay of correlations for the Rauzy-Veech-Zorich induction map on the space of interval exchange transformations. A corollary is the Central Limit Theorem for the Teichmüller flow on the moduli space of abelian differentials with prescribed singularities.
