Local universality of determinantal point processes on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We consider the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_g$ on a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and the determinantal point process $\mathcal{X}_{\lambda}$ on $M$ associated with the spectral projection of $-\Delta_g$ onto the subspace corresponding to the eigenvalues up to $\lambda^2$. We show that the pull-back of $\mathcal{X}_{\lambda}$ by the exponential map $\exp_p : T_p^*M \to M$ under a suitable scaling converges weakly to the universal determinantal point process on $T_p^* M$ as $\lambda \to \infty$.
