Abstract

In this note, we consider the fluctuation theorem for \(X_{f_n}^{(n)}:=\sum _{i=1}^n f(\lambda _i)I(\lambda _i\ge \theta _n)\), where \(\lambda _i, i=1,\ldots ,n\) are eigenvalues from a Wigner matrix and \(\theta _n\rightarrow 2^-\). We prove that in the edge case \(X_{f_n}^{(n)}\) behaves like the counting function of Wigner matrix. Our results can be viewed as a complement of Bao et al. (J Stat Phys 150(1):88–129, 2013).
