We study large $N\times N$ power-law random band matrices $H=(H_{ij})$ with centered complex Gaussian entries, where the variances satisfy a power-law decay $\mathbb{E}|H_{ij}|^2\propto (|i-j|/W+1)^{-1-\alpha}$, for some exponent…

Suppose $\alpha, \beta$ are Lipschitz strongly concave functions from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$ and $\gamma$ is a concave function from $[0, 1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$, such that $\alpha(0) = \gamma(0) = 0$, and $\alpha(1) = \beta(0) = 0$ and…

We consider random hermitian matrices in which distant above-diagonal entries are independent but nearby entries may be correlated. We find the limit of the empirical distribution of eigenvalues by combinatorial methods. We also prove that…

We consider $N\times N$ self-adjoint Gaussian random matrices defined by an arbitrary deterministic sparsity pattern with $d$ nonzero entries per row. We show that such random matrices exhibit a canonical localization-delocalization…

We prove an optimal order delocalization estimate for the eigenvectors of general $N \times N$ non-Hermitian matrices $X$: $\| {\bf v } \|_\infty \leq C \sqrt{\frac{\log N}{N}}$ with very high probability, for any right or left eigenvector…

We investigate delocalization phenomena for eigenvectors of real random matrices that are invariant by orthogonal transformations. A specific phenomenon with these ensembles is that an eigenvector is typically more localized when its…

In contrast to the neatly bounded spectra of densely populated large random matrices, sparse random matrices often exhibit unbounded eigenvalue tails on the real and imaginary axis, called Lifshitz tails. In the case of asymmetric matrices,…

Using our previously published algorithm, we analyze the eigenvectors of the generalized Laplacian for two metric graphs occurring in practical applications. As expected, localization of an eigenvector is rare and the network should be…

Let $x \in S^{n-1}$ be a unit eigenvector of an $n \times n$ random matrix. This vector is delocalized if it is distributed roughly uniformly over the real or complex sphere. This intuitive notion can be quantified in various ways. In these…

The empirical eigenvalue distribution of the elliptic random matrix ensemble tends to the uniform measure on an ellipse in the complex plane as its dimension tends to infinity. We show this convergence on all mesoscopic scales slightly…

It is shown that certain ensembles of random matrices with entries that vanish outside a band around the diagonal satisfy a localization condition on the resolvent which guarantees that eigenvectors have strong overlap with a vanishing…

Eigenvector localization refers to the situation when most of the components of an eigenvector are zero or near-zero. This phenomenon has been observed on eigenvectors associated with extremal eigenvalues, and in many of those cases it can…
