Summary
The present paper is expository in nature focussing on an effective way of proving ordinary and functional central limit theorems (CLT’s and FCLT’s) for martingales starting with a martingale version of Lindeberg’s proof of the classical CLT and going up to FCLT’s for continuous time local martingales known through the work of Rebolledo, Liptser and Shiryayev, and Helland.
