Limit theorems for anisotropic functionals of stationary Gaussian fields with Gneiting covariance function

Probability 2026-03-10 v1

Abstract

We study non-linear additive functionals of stationary Gaussian fields over anisotropically growing domains in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, including spatiotemporal settings, and establish Gaussian and non-Gaussian limit theorems under non-separable covariance structures. We characterize the regimes in which the normalized functionals converge either to a Gaussian distribution or to a 22-domain Rosenblatt distribution, depending on precise long-range dependence conditions. Our analysis covers covariance functions from the Gneiting class, which provides a canonical family of non-separable spatiotemporal models. A key structural result shows that such covariances are asymptotically separable in a precise cumulant sense, allowing us to identify explicitly the limiting distributions without imposing additional spectral assumptions. These results extend existing spatiotemporal limit theorems beyond separable and short-memory frameworks and provide a unified description of anisotropic long-range dependence phenomena.
