Zero correlations and averaged fields of orthonormal Gaussian functions
Abstract
We consider the family of point processes of zeros of Gaussian random functions , arising from the Gaussian Entire Function by iteration of the Landau raising operator, and orthonormal at each point in expectation in the sense that We first show that the normalized pair correlations of the pairs exhibit \emph{a pattern reminiscent of the classical interlacing of zeros of orthogonal polynomials}: when , displays repulsion for , attraction for , and no short-range second-order correlation for . We complement this with the convergence of real-valued averaged fields on compacts , and a functional central limit theorem for the corresponding scaled fluctuations, which converge to the Gaussian process where denotes real white noise on and is the unit disk centered at . The results are motivated by problems in signal processing. Due to an identification with white noise spectrograms, they confirm conjectures of Flandrin and Bayram-Baraniuk and provide a rationale for the efficiency of high resolution time-frequency algorithms, namely \emph{ConceFT}, by Daubechies, Wang and Wu.
