We determine the asymptotic behavior of the realized power variations, and more generally of sums of a given function evaluated at the increments of a Lévy process between the successive times for = 0,1,...,. One can elucidate completely the first order behavior, that is the convergence in probability of such sums, possibly after normalization and/or centering: it turns out that there is a rather wide variety of possible behaviors, depending on the structure of jumps and on the chosen test function . As for the associated central limit theorem, one can show some versions of it, but unfortunately in a limited number of cases only: in some other cases a CLT just does not exist.
