Our analysis is based on the connection with Toeplitz determinants. The central observation of this paper is a strong Szegö limit theorem for Toeplitz determinants associated to symbols depending on $n$ in a particular way. As a consequence to this result, we find that for each fixed $m\in \N$, the random variables $ \Tr U^{k_j(n)}/\sqrt{\min(k_j(n),n)}$, $j=1,..., m$, converge to independent standard complex normals.21 pagesMathematical Physicstext
