Abstract

We consider the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of random band n×nn\times n matrices whose entries have the form Mij=b1/2u1/2(ij)w~ij\mathcal{M}_{ij}=b^{-1/2}u^{1/2}(|i-j|)\tilde w_{ij} with i.i.d. wijw_{ij} possessing the (4+ε)(4+\varepsilon)th moment, where the function uu has a finite support [C,C][-C^*,C^*], so that MM has only 2Cb+12C_*b+1 nonzero diagonals. The parameter bb (called the bandwidth) is assumed to grow with nn in a way that b/n0b/n\to 0. Without any additional assumptions on the growth of bb we prove CLT for linear eigenvalue statistics for a rather wide class of test functions. Thus we improve and generalize the results of the previous papers [8] and [11], where CLT was proven under the assumption n>>b>>n1/2n>>b>>n^{1/2}. Moreover, we develop a method which allows to prove automatically the CLT for linear eigenvalue statistics of the smooth test functions for almost all classical models of random matrix theory: deformed Wigner and sample covariance matrices, sparse matrices, diluted random matrices, matrices with heavy tales, etc.
