Abstract: We establish a central limit theorem for the log-determinant $log|det(M_n)|$ of a Wigner matrix $M_n$, under the assumption of four matching moments with either the GUE or GOE ensemble. More specifically, we show that this log-determinant is asymptotically distributed like $N(logsqrtn!-1/2logn,1/2logn{)}_R$ when one matches moments with GUE, and $N(logsqrtn!-1/4logn,1/4logn{)}_R$ when one matches moments with GOE.
