Abstract: Let (εj)j≥0 be a sequence of independent p-dimensional random vectors and τ≥1 a given integer. From a sample ε1,…,εT+τ of the sequence, the so-called lag-τ auto-covariance matrix is Cτ=T−1∑j=1Tετ+jεjt. When the dimension p is large compared to the sample size T, this paper establishes the limit of the singular value distribution of Cτ assuming that p and T grow to infinity proportionally and the sequence has uniformly bounded (4+δ)th order moments. Compared to existing asymptotic results on sample covariance matrices developed in random matrix theory, the case of an auto-covariance matrix is much more involved due to the fact that the summands are dependent and the matrix Cτ is not symmetric. Several new techniques are introduced for the derivation of the main theorem.
