Central limit theorems for the real eigenvalues of large Gaussian random matrices

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let GG be an N×NN \times N real matrix whose entries are independent identically distributed standard normal random variables Gij∼N(0,1)G_{ij} \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1). The eigenvalues of such matrices are known to form a two-component system consisting of purely real and complex conjugated points. The purpose of this note is to show that by appropriately adapting the methods of \cite{KPTTZ15}, we can prove a central limit theorem of the following form: if λ1,…,λNRλ_{1},\ldots,λ_{N_{\mathbb{R}}} are the real eigenvalues of GG, then for any even polynomial function P(x)P(x) and even N=2nN=2n, we have the convergence in distribution to a normal random variable \begin{equation} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathbb{E}(N_{\mathbb{R}})}}\left(\sum_{j=1}^{N_{\mathbb{R}}}P(λ_{j})-\mathbb{E}\sum_{j=1}^{N_{\mathbb{R}}}P(λ_{j})\right) \to \mathcal{N}(0,σ^{2}(P)) \end{equation} as n→∞n \to \infty, where σ2(P)=2−22∫−11P(x)2 dxσ^{2}(P) = \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}\int_{-1}^{1}P(x)^{2}\,dx.
