We consider sequences of random variables of the type $S_n= n^{-1/2} \sum_{k=1}^n f(X_k)$, $n\geq 1$, where $X=(X_k)_{k\in \Z}$ is a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process and $f: \R^d \rightarrow \R$ is a measurable function.It is known that, under certain conditions on $f$ and the covariance...

We present some new asymptotic results for functionals of higher order differences of Brownian semi-stationary processes. In an earlier work we have derived a similar asymptotic theory for first order differences. However, the central limit theorems were valid only for certain values of the...

This paper presents a short survey on limit theorems for certain functionals of semimartingales, which are observed at high frequency. Our aim is to explain the main ideas of the theory to a broader audience. We introduce the concept of stable convergence, which is crucial for our purpose. We...

This paper provides theory as well as empirical results for pre-averaging estimators of the daily quadratic variation of asset prices. We derive jump robust inference for pre-averaging estimators, corresponding feasible central limit theorems and an explicit test on serial dependence in...
