Abstract

We show that the distance in total variation between TrU,12TrU2,,1mTrUm and a real Gaussian vector, where U is a Haar distributed orthogonal or symplectic matrix of size 2n or 2n+1, is bounded by Γ2nm+112 times a correction. The correction term is explicit and holds for all nm4, for m sufficiently large. For nm3 we obtain the bound nmcnm with an explicit constant c. Our method of proof is based on an identity of Toeplitz + Hankel determinants due to Basor and Ehrhardt, see (Oper. Matrices 3 (2009) 167–86), which is also used to compute the joint moments of the traces.

Nous montrons que la distance en variation totale entre TrU,12TrU2,,1mTrUm et un vecteur gaussien réel, où U est une matrice orthogonale ou symplectique distribuée selon la mesure de Haar et de taille 2n ou 2n+1, est bornée par Γ2nm+112 fois une correction. Cette correction est explicite et valable pour tout nm4, pour m suffisamment grand. Lorsque nm3 nous obtenons la borne nmcnmc est une constante explicite. Notre méthode de démonstration repose sur une identité de déterminants du type Toeplitz + Hankel due à Basor et Ehrhardt, voir (Oper. Matrices 3 (2009) 167–86), qui est aussi utilisée pour calculer les moments joints des traces.
