Abstract: In this paper, we study the fluctuations of the average magnetization in an Ising model on an approximately dN regular graph GN on N vertices. In particular, if GN is enquote{well connected}, we show that whenever dNggsqrtN, the fluctuations are universal and same as that of the Curie-Weiss model in the entire Ferro-magnetic parameter regime. We give a counterexample to demonstrate that the condition dNggsqrtN is tight, in the sense that the limiting distribution changes if dNsimsqrtN except in the high temperature regime. By refining our argument, we extend universality in the high temperature regime up to dNggN1/3. Our results conclude universal fluctuations of the average magnetization in Ising models on regular graphs, ErdH{o}s-R'enyi graphs (directed and undirected), stochastic block models, and sparse regular graphons. In fact, our results apply to general matrices with non-negative entries, including Ising models on a Wigner matrix, and the block spin Ising model. As a by-product of our proof technique, we obtain Berry-Esseen bounds for these fluctuations, exponential concentration for the average of spins, and tight error bounds for the Mean-Field approximation of the partition function.
