Abstract: We consider a Brownian semimartingale X (the sum of a stochastic integral w.r.t. a Brownian motion and an integral w.r.t. Lebesgue measure), and for each n an increasing sequence T(n, i) of stopping times and a sequence of positive ℱT(n,i)-measurable variables Δ(n,i) such that S(n,i):=T(n,i)+Δ(n,i)≤T(n,i+1). We are interested in the limiting behavior of processes of the form Utn(g)=δn∑i:S(n,i)≤t[g(T(n,i),ξin)−αin(g)], where δn is a normalizing sequence tending to 0 and ξin=Δ(n,i)−1/2(XS(n,i)−XT(n,i)) and αin(g) are suitable centering terms and g is some predictable function of (ω,t,x). Under rather weak assumptions on the sequences T(n, i) as n goes to infinity, we prove that these processes converge (stably) in law to the stochastic integral of g w.r.t. a random measure B which is, conditionally on the path of X, a Gaussian random measure. We give some applications to rates of convergence in discrete approximations for the p-variation processes and local times.
