69 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation Consider a set of realisations {u n } of N (correlated) random variables U n, with the joint probability (??). We then define as above the random variable S N = N n=1 U n, and let Υ N be the probability density of S N. Then Υ N is given by Υ N (s) = 0 = Γ(N) Z N du N...du 1 J N (u 1,..., u N ) δ P(s) Ω ( F(s) ) I N (s), ( s ) N u n. n=1 with I N (s) = 0 du N P(u N )... 0 du 1 δ ( s ) N u n. n=1
70 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation To evaluate I N, let us start by integrating over u 1, using 0 du 1 δ ( s ) ( N u n = Θ s n=1 ) N u n, n=2 where Θ is the Heaviside distribution. This changes ( the upper bound of the integral over u 2 by u2 max = max 0, s ) N n=2 u n. Then the integration over u 2 leads to u max 2 0 [ ( N ) ] ( du 2 P(u 2 ) = F u n F(s) Θ s n=3 ) N u n, n=3
71 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation By recurrence it is then possible to show that I N (s) = 1 ( N 1, 1 F(s)) Γ(N) finally yielding the following expression for Υ N : Υ N (s) = 1 P(s) Ω ( F(s) ) ( ) N 1. 1 F(s) (1) Z N In the following sections, we assume that Ω(F) behaves asymptotically as a power law Ω(F) Ω 0 F a 1 when F 0 (a > 0). Under this assumption, we deduce from Eq. (1) the different limit distributions associated with the different classes of asymptotic behaviours of P at large x.
72 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation P(x) decays faster than any power law at large x. To that purpose, we define sn by F(s N ) = a/n. If a is an integer, this is nothing but the typical value of the a th largest value of s in a sample of size N. As P is unbounded we have lim N s N = +. Let us introduce g(s) = ln F(s) and, assuming g (s N ) 0, define the rescaled variable v by s = sn + v g (sn (2) ).
73 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation For large N, series expansion of g around s N : g(s) = g(s N ) + v + n=1 1 g (n) (sn ) n! g (sn v n. )n For P in the Gumbel class, g (n) (s N )/g (s N )n is bounded as a function of n so that the series converges. In addition, one has lim N so that g(s) may be written as g (n) (sn ) g (sn = 0, n 2, )n g(s) = g(s N ) + v + ε N(v), with lim N ε N(v) = 0. (3)
74 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation Given that P(s) = g (s) F(s), one gets using Eqs. (1) and (3) Φ N (v) = 1 g (s N )Υ N(s) = 1 g (s) Z N g (sn ) F(s) Ω( F(s) )( 1 F(s) ) N 1, where s is given by Eq. (2). For P in the Gumbel class, it can be checked that, for fixed v g ( sn lim + v/g (sn )) N g (sn ) = 1. Besides, F ( s N + v/g (s N )) 0 when N, so that one can use the small F expansion of Ω(F).
75 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation Altogether, one finds Φ N (v) Ω ( 0 a ) a [ e av aε N (v) 1 a ] N 1 Z N N N e v ε N(v) Using a simple change of variable in Eq. (??), one can show that N a Z lim N N Ω 0 = Γ(a) It is then straightforward to take the asymptotic limit N, leading to Φ (v) = aa Γ(a) exp [ av ae v].
76 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation In order to recover the usual expression for the generalised Gumbel distribution, one simply needs to introduce the reduced variable µ = v v σ v, with, Ψ being the digamma function, v = ln a Ψ(a), σ 2 v = Ψ (a). The variable µ is then distributed according to a generalised Gumbel distribution.
77 Model Volume fluctuations Physical interpretation To sum up, if one considers the sum S N of N 1 random variables linked by the joint probability (??), then the asymptotic distribution of the reduced variable µ defined by with S N = s N µ = s N S N σ N, ln a Ψ(a) Ψ + g (sn ), σ N = (a) g (sn ). is the generalised Gumbel distribution. back
