Global Fluctuations for Linear Statistics of \beta-Jacobi Ensembles

Probability 2012-10-04 v3

Abstract

We study the global fluctuations for linear statistics of the form i=1nf(λi)\sum_{i=1}^n f(\lambda_i) as nn \rightarrow \infty, for C1C^1 functions ff, and λ1,...,λn\lambda_1, ..., \lambda_n being the eigenvalues of a (general) β\beta-Jacobi ensemble, for which tridiagonal models were given by Killip and Nenciu as well as Edelman and Sutton. The fluctuation from the mean (i=1nf(λi)\Expi=1nf(λi)\sum_{i=1}^n f(\lambda_i) - \Exp \sum_{i=1}^n f(\lambda_i)) is given asymptotically by a Gaussian process. We compute the covariance matrix for the process and show that it is diagonalized by a shifted Chebyshev polynomial basis; in addition, we analyze the deviation from the predicted mean for polynomial test functions, and we obtain a law of large numbers.
