Abstract

In this paper, we study the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of Random Band Matrices defined by Mn=1bnWnM_{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{b_{n}}}W_{n}, where WnW_{n} is a n×nn\times n band Hermitian random matrix of bandwidth bnb_{n}, i.e., the diagonal elements and only first bnb_{n} off diagonal elements are nonzero. Also variances of the matrix elmements are upto a order of constant. We study the linear eigenvalue statistics N(ϕ)=i=1nϕ(λi)\mathcal{N}(\phi)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\phi(\lambda_{i}) of such matrices, where λi\lambda_{i} are the eigenvalues of MnM_{n} and ϕ\phi is a sufficiently smooth function. We prove that bnn[N(ϕ)EN(ϕ)]dN(0,V(ϕ))\sqrt{\frac{b_{n}}{n}}[\mathcal{N}(\phi)-\mathbb{E} \mathcal{N}(\phi)]\stackrel{d}{\to} N(0,V(\phi)) for bn>>nb_{n}>>\sqrt{n}, where V(ϕ)V(\phi) is given in the Theorem 1.
