Limit Theorems for Volumes of Beta-Type Simplices
摘要
Consider a p-dimensional beta-type simplex in \(\mathbb {R}^d\) . In this chapter, we prove limit theorems for the distribution of its log-volume and volume in high dimensions, that is, in the asymptotic regime where \(d\to \infty \) and where we allow \(p=p(d)\) to depend on d. Our approach is based on proving mod-Gaussian convergence of the log-volume, which in turn relies on a detailed asymptotic analysis of the explicit formula for the moments of the volume, as stated in Theorem 6.13 .
