Convergence of local eigenvector processes of generalized Wigner matrices

Probability 2025-09-25 v1

Abstract

We prove convergence of eigenvector processes of the form (Nuk,Atuk)t[0,1](\sqrt{N}\langle \mathbf{u}_k,A_t\mathbf{u}_k\rangle)_{t\in[0,1]} where uk\mathbf{u}_k is a bulk eigenvector of generalized Wigner matrices and (At)(A_t) a family of symmetric matrices with bounded norm and H\"{o}lder regularity. We give explicit examples of limiting processes and prove that a large class of Gaussian process with H\"{o}lder-continuous covariance function can be obtained as such a limit using its Karhunen--Lo\`eve expansion. The proof is based on the multi-dimensional convergence proved Benigni and Cipolloni (2024) and a tightness criterion proved using H\"{o}lder regularity of the observables.
