Skewed distributions are fundamental in modelling asymmetric data on the d-dimensional torus. In this context, asymmetry is introduced through the sine-skewing mechanism, which is the only skewing mechanism that has been proposed on the…

We consider an $N \times N$ random symmetric Toeplitz matrix with an i.i.d. input sequence drawn from a distribution that lies in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law for $0 < \alpha < 2$. We show that under an appropriate…
