Convergence of Point Processes with Weakly Dependent PointsAbstract: For each $n \geq 1$, let $\{X_{j,n}\}_{1 \leq j \leq n}$ be a sequence of strictly stationary random variables. In this article, we give some asymptotic weak dependence conditions for the convergence in distribution of the point process $N_n=\sum_{j=1}^{n}\delta_{X_{j,n}}$ to an infinitely divisible point process. From the point process convergence, we obtain the convergence in distribution of the partial sum sequence $S_n=\sum_{j=1}^{n}X_{j,n}$ to an infinitely divisible random variable, whose L\'{e}vy measure is related to the canonical measure of the limiting point process. As examples, we discuss the case of triangular arrays which possess known (row-wise) dependence structures, like the strong mixing property, the association, or the dependence structure of a stochastic volatility model.
