Asymptotic results in solvable two-charge models

Abstract

Rider, Sinclair and Xu (2013) introduced a solvable two charge ensemble of interacting charged particles on the real line in the presence of the harmonic oscillator potential. It can be seen as a special form of a grand canonical ensemble with the total charge being fixed and unit charge particles being random. Moreover, it serves as an interpolation between the Gaussian orthogonal and the Gaussian symplectic ensembles and maintains the Pfaffian structure of the eigenvalues. A similar solvable ensemble of charged particles on the unit circle was studied by Shum and Sinclair (2014) and Forrester (2010). In this paper we explore the sharp asymptotic behavior of the number of unit charge particles on the line and on the circle, as the total charge goes to infinity. We establish extended central limit theorems, Berry-Esseen estimates and precise moderate deviations using the machinery of the mod-Gaussian convergence. Also a large deviation principle is derived using the Gärtner-Ellis theorem.
