Three-dimensional Gaussian fluctuations of non-commutative random surfaces along time-like paths

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We construct a continuous-time non-commutative random walk on U(glN)U(\mathfrak{gl}_N) with dilation maps U(glN)→L2(U(N))⊗∞U(\mathfrak{gl}_N)\rightarrow L^2(U(N))^{\otimes\infty}. This is an analog of a continuous-time non-commutative random walk on the group von Neumann algebra vN(U(N))vN(U(N)) constructed in [15], and is a variant of discrete-time non-commutative random walks on U(glN)U(\mathfrak{gl}_N) [2,9]. It is also shown that when restricting to the Gelfand-Tsetlin subalgebra of U(glN),U(\mathfrak{gl}_N), the non-commutative random walk matches a (2+1)-dimensional random surface model introduced in [7]. As an application, it is then proved that the moments converge to an explicit Gaussian field along time-like paths. Combining with [7] which showed convergence to the Gaussian free field along space-like paths, this computes the entire three-dimensional Gaussian field. In particular, it matches a Gaussian field from eigenvalues of random matrices [5].
