  • Description: <p>It is proved that, for h measurable and symmetric in its arguments and X<sub>i</sub>i.i.d., if the sequence {n<sup>-m/2</sup>∑<sub>i<sub>1</sub>,...,i<sub>m</sub>≤ n,i<sub>j</sub>≠ i<sub>k</sub>if j≠ k</sub>h(X<sub>i<sub>1</sub> </sub>,..., X<sub>i<sub>m</sub> </sub>)}<sup>∞</sup> <sub>n=1</sub>is stochastically bounded, then<tex-math>$Eh^2 &lt; \infty$</tex-math>and Eh(X<sub>1</sub>,x<sub>2</sub>,...,x<sub>m</sub>) = 0 a.s.</p>
