### Central limit theorem for linear spectral statistics of large dimensional separable sample covariance matrices

#### Abstract

Suppose that $\mathbf{X}_{n}=(x_{jk})$ is $N\times n$ whose elements are independent complex variables with mean zero, variance 1. The separable sample covariance matrix is defined as $\mathbf{B}_{n}=\frac{1}{N}\mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2}\mathbf{X}_{n}\mathbf{T}_{1n}\mathbf{X}_{n}^{*}\mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2}$ where $\mathbf{T}_{1n}$ is a Hermitian matrix and $\mathbf{T}_{2n}^{1/2}$ is a Hermitian square root of the nonnegative definite Hermitian matrix $\mathbf{T}_{2n}$. Its linear spectral statistics (LSS) are shown to have Gaussian limits when $n/N$ approaches a positive constant under some conditions.
