Universal Central Limit Theorem for non-exchangeable interacting diffusions
Abstract
We study non-exchangeable interacting diffusions with pairwise interaction strengths encoded by a sequence of matrices. Under suitable structural and denseness conditions on these matrices, we prove a universal Central Limit Theorem for the global fluctuation field. As the number of particles becomes large, it converges in distribution to the unique solution of a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE), the same Gaussian limit as in the exchangeable mean field case. The result applies, for instance, to scaled adjacency matrices of -regular graphs when . A spatial interaction model shows that the denseness threshold is sharp. The proof proceeds with an analysis in negative Sobolev spaces, building on sharp quantitative propagation of chaos results together with functional inequalities.
