Abstract: The restriction to the sphere of a homogeneous and isotropic random field defines a spherical isotropic random field. This paper derives central and noncentral limit results for the first Minkowski functional subordinated to homogeneous and isotropic Gaussian and chi-squared random fields, restricted to the sphere in $\mathbb {R}^{3}$. Both scenarios are motivated by their interesting applications in the analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation.
