A clarification on Stable Convergence of Triangular Arrays of Random Variables

111 Views Asked by At

Consider the following important theorem, due to Jacod (1997), on stable convergence of triangular arrays of random variables. In what follows $\mathcal{F}_t$ indicates a filtration on $[0,1]$ and $t_{j,n}$ is a partition of the time-interval $[0,1]$.

My question: is it strictly necessary that the conditioning that appears in conditions from $1)$ to $5)$ is taken with respect to $\mathcal{F}_{t_{j-1,n}}$ ? Would the theorem still apply if, for example, conditioning with respect to $\mathcal{F}_{t_{j-2,n}}$ is considered?

Here are some ideas, for example for assumption 1. Let $$ \tag{1'}\sum_{j=1}^n\mathbb E\left[Y_{t_{j,n}}\mid\mathcal F_{t_{j-2},n}\right]\to 0 \mbox{ in probability}. $$ If (1') holds, in order to check (1), we have to prove that $$ \tag{1'}\sum_{j=1}^nd_{n,j}\to 0 \mbox{ in probability}, $$ where $d_{n,j}=\mathbb E\left[Y_{t_{j,n}}\mid\mathcal F_{t_{j-1},n}\right]-\mathbb E\left[Y_{t_{j,n}}\mid\mathcal F_{t_{j-2},n}\right]$. The fact that $\left(d_{n,j}\right)$ is a martingale difference sequence can help.
