Abstract: We consider quadratic forms of martingale differences and establish a central limit theorem under mild and easily verifiable conditions. By approximating Fourier transforms of stationary processes by martingales, our central limit theorem is applied to the smoothed periodogram estimate of spectral density functions. Our results go beyond earlier ones by allowing a variety of nonlinear time series and by avoiding strong mixing and/or summability conditions on joint cumulants.We thank the two reviewers for their detailed comments, which led to substantial improvements.
