Local Laws and a Mesoscopic CLT for β-ensembles
Abstract
We study the statistical mechanics of the log-gas, or β-ensemble, for general potential and inverse temperature. By means of a bootstrap procedure, we prove local laws on the next order energy that are valid down to microscopic length scales. To our knowledge, this is the first time that this kind of a local quantity has been controlled for the log-gas. Simultaneously, we exhibit a control on fluctuations of linear statistics that is valid at all mesoscales. Using these local laws, we are able to exhibit for the first time a CLT at arbitrary mesoscales, improving upon a previous result of Bekerman-Lodhia that was true only for power mesoscales.
