Abstract

Let UU be a Haar distributed matrix in U(n)\mathbb U(n) or O(n)\mathbb O (n). In a previous paper, we proved that after centering, the two-parameter process T(n)(s,t)=ins,jntUij2T^{(n)} (s,t) = \sum_{i \leq \lfloor ns \rfloor, j \leq \lfloor nt\rfloor} |U_{ij}|^2 converges in distribution to the bivariate tied-down Brownian bridge. In the present paper, we replace the deterministic truncation of UU by a random one, where each row (resp. column) is chosen with probability ss (resp. tt) independently. We prove that the corresponding two-parameter process, after centering and normalization by n1/2n^{-1/2} converges to a Gaussian process. On the way we meet other interesting convergences.
