Central limit theorems for linear statistics of heavy tailed random matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
We show central limit theorems (CLT) for the linear statistics of symmetric matrices with independent heavy tailed entries, including entries in the domain of attraction of α-stable laws and entries with moments exploding with the dimension, as in the adjacency matrices of Erdös-Rényi graphs. For the second model, we also prove a central limit theorem of the moments of its empirical eigenvalues distribution. The limit laws are Gaussian, but unlike the case of standard Wigner matrices, the normalization is the one of the classical CLT for independent random variables.

Heavy-tailed random matrices
We discuss non-Gaussian random matrices whose elements are random variables with heavy-tailed probability distributions. In probability theory heavy tails of the distributions describe rare but violent events which usually have dominant influence on the statistics. They also completely change universal properties of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of random matrices. We concentrate here on the uni...
متن کاملLimit Theorems for Large Dimensional Sample Means , Sample Covariance Matrices and Hotelling ’ S T 2 Statistics
In this paper, we prove the central limit theorem for Hotelling’s T 2 statistics when the dimension of the random vectors is proportional to the sample size via investigating asymptotic independence and random quadratic forms involving sample means and sample covariance matrices.
متن کاملFluctuations of eigenvalues and second order Poincaré inequalities
Abstract. Linear statistics of eigenvalues in many familiar classes of random matrices are known to obey gaussian central limit theorems. The proofs of such results are usually rather difficult, involving hard computations specific to the model in question. In this article we attempt to formulate a unified technique for deriving such results via relatively soft arguments. In the process, we int...
متن کاملE¢ cient Simulation and Conditional Functional Limit Theorems for Ruinous Heavy-tailed Random Walks
The contribution of this paper is to introduce change of measure based techniques for the rare-event analysis of heavy-tailed stochastic processes. Our changes-of-measure are parameterized by a family of distributions admitting a mixture form. We exploit our methodology to achieve two types of results. First, we construct Monte Carlo estimators that are strongly e¢ cient (i.e. have bounded rela...
متن کاملCentral Limit Theorems for the Brownian motion on large unitary groups
In this paper, we are concerned with the largeN limit of linear combinations of entries of Brownian motions on the group of N ×N unitary matrices. We prove that the process of such a linear combination converges to a Gaussian one. Various scales of time are concerned, giving rise to various limit processes, in relation to the geometric construction of the unitary Brownian motion. As an applicat...
