Abstract

Let νM1([0,[)\nu\in M^1([0,\infty[) be a fixed probability measure. For each dimension pNp\in \mathbb{N}, let (Xnp)n1(X_n^{p})_{n\geq1} be i.i.d. Rp\mathbb{R}^p-valued random variables with radially symmetric distributions and radial distribution ν\nu. We investigate the distribution of the Euclidean length of Snp:=X1p+...+XnpS_n^{p}:=X_1^{p}+...+ X_n^{p} for large parameters nn and pp. Depending on the growth of the dimension p=pnp=p_n we derive by the method of moments two complementary CLT's for the functional Snp2|S_n^{p}|_2 with normal limits, namely for n/pnn/p_n \to \infty and n/pn0n/p_n \to 0. Moreover, we present a CLT for the case n/pnc]0,[n/p_n \to c\in]0,\infty[. Thereby we derive explicit formulas and asymptotic results for moments of radial distributed random variables on \bRp\b R^p. All limit theorems are considered also for orthogonal invariant random walks on the space \bMp,q(\bR)\b M_{p,q}(\b R) of p×qp\times q matrices instead of \bRp\b R^p for pp\to \infty and some fixed dimension qq.
