Abstract

We study linear spectral statistics of N×NN \times N Wigner random matrices H\mathcal{H} on mesoscopic scales. Under mild assumptions on the matrix entries of H\mathcal{H}, we prove that after centering and normalizing, the trace of the resolvent Tr(Hz)1\mathrm{Tr}(\mathcal{H}-z)^{-1} converges to a stationary Gaussian process as NN \to \infty on scales N1/3Im(z)1N^{-1/3} \ll \mathrm{Im}(z) \ll 1 and explicitly compute the covariance structure. The limit process is related to certain regularizations of fractional Brownian motion and logarithmically correlated fields appearing in \cite{FKS13}. Finally, we extend our results to general mesoscopic linear statistics and prove that the limiting covariance is given by the H1/2H^{1/2}-norm of the test functions.
