Gaussian asymptotics of discrete β-ensembles
Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS, Volume 125 (2017), pp. 1-78

We introduce and study stochastic N-particle ensembles which are discretizations for general-β log-gases of random matrix theory. The examples include random tilings, families of non-intersecting paths, (z,w)-measures, etc. We prove that under technical assumptions on general analytic potential, the global fluctuations for such ensembles are asymptotically Gaussian as N→∞. The covariance is universal and coincides with its counterpart in random matrix theory.

Our main tool is an appropriate discrete version of the Schwinger-Dyson (or loop) equations, which originates in the work of Nekrasov and his collaborators.
