A Berry-Esseen bound with (almost) sharp dependence conditions

Suppose that the (normalised) partial sum of a stationary sequence converges to a standard normal random variable. Given sufficiently moments, when do we have a rate of convergence of $n^{-1/2}$ in the uniform metric, in other words, when do we have the optimal Berry-Esseen bound? We study this question in a quite general framework and find the (almost) sharp dependence conditions. The result applies to many different processes and dynamical systems. As specific, prominent examples, we study functions of the doubling map 2x mod 1 and the left random walk on the general linear group.
