Abstract
At the end of this chapter, we will have proved that Lemma 7.12 holds, up to the second-order correction in the large N limit, i.e., that
when the parameters ti are small enough and such that ?tiqi is c-convex. As for the first order, we shall prove first a similar large N expansion for \(\overrightarrow L _t^N\). We will first refine the arguments of the proof of Theorem 8.3 to estimate \((\overrightarrow L _t^N - T_t )\). This will already prove that \((\overrightarrow L _t^N - T_t )(P)\) is at most of order N?2 for any polynomial P. To get the limit of \(N^2(\overrightarrow L _t^N - T_t )(P)\), we will first obtain a central limit theorem for \((\mathop {L^N }\limits^ - T_t )\) which is of independent interest. The key argument in our approach, besides further uses of integration by partslike arguments, will be the inversion of a differential operator acting on noncommutative polynomials which can be thought as a non-commutative analog of a Laplacian operator with a drift.
