Asymptotic Fluctuations of Smooth Linear Statistics of Independently Perturbed Lattices

Abstract We consider the hyperuniform model of d -dimensional integer lattice perturbed by independent random variables and we investigate the large scale asymptotic fluctuations of smoothed versions of the usual counting statistics, specifically of linear statistics associated to a smooth function with rapid decay at infinity. We highlight three distinct classes of limit, depending on the dimension d and on the tails of the perturbations. On the one hand, we establish that for dimensions larger than two, central limit theorems hold under mild assumptions on the perturbations. This confirms numerical observations from physics, suggesting that even for highly correlated hyperuniform models, large dimensions favor asymptotic normality. On the other hand, in dimension one, the limiting distribution can be Gaussian, non-Gaussian but characterized by a Poisson integral, or stable with parameter strictly between one and two. These two latter results represent rare examples of non-Gaussian limits for smooth linear statistics of hyperuniform point processes of Classes I and II.
