Random simplices and more general random convex bodies of dimension p in R with p ≤ n are considered, which are generated by random vectors having an elliptical distribution. In the high-dimensional regime, that is, if p → ∞ and n → ∞ in such a way that p/n → γ ∈ (0, 1), a central and a stable limit theorem for the logarithmic volume of random simplices and random convex bodies is shown. The result follows from a related central limit theorem for the log-determinant of p × n random matrices…
