Determinantal point processes associated with Bergman kernels: construction and limit theorems

Abstract: We study determinantal point processes whose correlation kernel is the Bergman kernel of a high power of a positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold. We construct such processes in analogy to the orthogonal ensembles in random matrix theory, where the correlation kernel is the famous Christoffel-Darboux kernel. Using a near-diagonal expansion of the Bergman kernel, we prove that the scaling limit of these point processes is given by a multidimensional generalization of the infinite Ginibre ensemble. As an application, we obtain a convergence in probability of their empirical measures to an equilibrium measure related to the complex Monge-Amp`ere equations. We finally establish a large deviation principle for weighted versions of these processes, whose rate function is the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the Mabuchi functional.
