Spectrum of multidimensional random Jacobi matrix (Q1123476)

Let \(\xi(k,s)\) be a stationary bounded random field on the \(\mu\)- dimensional grid \({\mathbb Z}^{\mu}\), \(\mu\geq 1\). Suppose that \(\xi(k,s)=\xi(s,k)\) and \(\xi(k,s)=0\) for \(| k-s| \neq 1\), \(k,s\in {\mathbb Z}^{\mu}\). Let \(V\) be a cube with the centre in the origin (\(| V|\) is the number of nodes contained in \(V\)). Let the operator \(A_ V=\sum_{1\leq | \gamma | \leq \mu}A_{V,\gamma}\) be the sum of the matrices \(A_{V,\gamma}\) \[ (A_{V,\gamma}e(k),e(m))=\xi (k,k+q_{\gamma})\delta (k+q_{\gamma},m)\chi_ V(k+q_{\gamma}) \] where \(e(k)\) is an orthonormal basis in \({\mathbb R}^{| v|}\), \(\chi_ V\) is the indicator of the set \(V\) and \(q_{\gamma}\), \(\gamma =\pm 1,\dots,\pm \mu\), is a vector having zero elements except the \(| \gamma |\) coordinate which is equal to \(\text{sign}\,\gamma\). The paper gives an asymptotic formula for \(\text{Sp}\, f(A_ V)\) as \(| V| \to \infty\), where \(f\) is an analytic function in a circle containing the spectrum of \(A_ V\).
