Introduction

Let B = {B H (t)}t≥0 be a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter H ∈ (0, 1). A stochastic calculus with respect to it has been intensively developed (see, for example, Biagini et al. [2], Nualart [9]). It is a central Gaussian process with B H (0) = 0 and the covariance function   1  2H  E B H (t)B H (s) = t + s2H − |t − s|2H 2

for all t, s > 0. This process was first introduced by Kolmogorov and studied by Mandelbrot and Van Ness [8], where a stochastic integral representation in terms of a standard Brownian motion was established: q i 2HΓ( 32 − H) Z h H− 1 H− 1 B H (t) = (t − s)+ 2 − (−s)+ 2 dB(s), 1 Γ(H + 2 )Γ(2 − 2H) R ∗ Received

Q. Yu: LIMIT LAW FOR FRACTIONAL BROWNIAN MOTIONS

where u+ = max{u, 0}, and B(s) is standard Brownian motion. For H = 12 , B H coincides with the standard Brownian motion B, but B H is neither a semimartingale nor a Markov process unless H = 21 . On the basis of sufficient study of fBm, the research technology of the fBm is gradually mature, and many results about Brownian motion can be extended to the fBm, especially some classical limit theories. In this article, we will consider the limit law for functionals  of d-dimensional fBm. Let B H (t) = (B H1 (t), · · · , B Hd (t)), t ≥ 0 be a d-dimensional fBm with Hurst index H in (0, 1). Let B H,1 , B H,2 , · · · , B H,k be k independent copies of B H with H = k/d. If k = 1, the local time of fBm B H does not exist. This is called the critical case. In this condition, Xu [19] considered the limit law. That is, for any bounded and integrable R function f : Rd → R and Rd f (x)dx = 0, 1 √ n
