Abstract

We consider a symmetric matrix-valued Gaussian process Y(n)=(Y(n)(t);t0)Y^{(n)}=(Y^{(n)}(t);t\ge0) and its empirical spectral measure process μ(n)=(μt(n);t0)\mu^{(n)}=(\mu_{t}^{(n)};t\ge0). Under some mild conditions on the covariance function of Y(n)Y^{(n)}, we find an explicit expression for the limit distribution of ZF(n):=((Zf1(n)(t),,Zfr(n)(t));t0),Z_F^{(n)} := \left( \big(Z_{f_1}^{(n)}(t),\ldots,Z_{f_r}^{(n)}(t)\big) ; t\ge0\right), where F=(f1,,fr)F=(f_1,\dots, f_r), for r1r\ge 1, with each component belonging to a large class of test functions, and Zf(n)(t):=nRf(x)μt(n)(dx)nE[Rf(x)μt(n)(dx)]. Z_{f}^{(n)}(t) := n\int_{\mathbb{R}}f(x)\mu_{t}^{(n)}(\text{d} x)-n\mathbb{E}\left[\int_{\mathbb{R}}f(x)\mu_{t}^{(n)}(\text{d} x)\right]. More precisely, we establish the stable convergence of ZF(n)Z_F^{(n)} and determine its limiting distribution. An upper bound for the total variation distance of the law of Zf(n)(t)Z_{f}^{(n)}(t) to its limiting distribution, for a test function ff and t0t\geq0 fixed, is also given.
