Products of independent, normally attracted random variables (Q1092503)

Let \(R_ n\) denote the correlation coefficient of an n-sample of pairs \((X_ i,Y_ i)\), each distributed as (X,Y). Assume X and Y are independent and in the domain of attraction of the normal law. It is shown that this entails XY being in that domain of attraction, and that \(d_ nR_ n\to N(0,1)\) in distribution for constants \(d_ n\) satisfying lim sup(n\({}^{1/2}/d_ n)\leq 1\). Examples illustrate details of these limit theorems.
