Abstract: We study the fluctuations of smooth linear statistics of Laplace eigenvalues of compact hyperbolic surfaces lying in short energy windows, when averaged over the moduli space of surfaces of a given genus. The average is taken with respect to the Weil-Petersson measure. We show that first taking the large genus limit, then a short window limit, the distribution tends to a Gaussian. The variance was recently shown to be given by the corresponding quantity for the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), and the Gaussian fluctuations are also consistent with those in Random Matrix Theory, as conjectured in the physics literature for a fixed surface.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a compact hyperbolic surface of genus \(g\geq2\) with eigenvalues \(1/4+r_j^2\). Given an even function \(f\) with compactly supported Fourier transform \(\widehat{f}\), the authors consider statistics of the form \[ N_{L,\tau}(X)=\sum_{j\geq0}f(L[r_j-\tau])+f(L[r_j+\tau])\,, \] for \(L,\tau>0\). The main result of the present paper is the following central limit theorem: \[ \lim_{L\to\infty}\lim_{g\to\infty}\mathbb{E}^{\text{WP}}_g\left[h\left(\frac{N_{L,\tau}-\mathbb{E}_g^{\text{WP}}[N_{L,\tau}]}{\sqrt{\Sigma^2_{\text{GOE}}(f)}}\right)\right]=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty h(t)e^{-t^2/2}\text{d}t \] for all bounded continuous functions \(h\), where \(\mathbb{E}_g^{\text{WP}}\) is the expectation with respect to the Weil-Petersson measure on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of genus \(g\), and \(\Sigma^2_{\text{GOE}}(f)=2\int_{-\infty}^\infty|x|\widehat{f}(x)^2\text{d}x\). The proof uses the Selberg Trace Formula, and a subsequent representation of the statistic of interest as a functional of a Poisson point process for which the Gaussian limit is shown.
