We show that eigenvector centrality exhibits localization phenomena on networks that can be easily partitioned by the removal of a vertex cut set, the most extreme example being networks with a cut vertex. Three distinct types of…

We show the eigenvectors of a Gaussian random band matrix are localized when the band width is less than the 1/4 power of the matrix size. Our argument is essentially an optimized version of Schenker's proof of the 1/8 exponent.
