We consider the ensemble of adjacency matrices of Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs, that is, graphs on $N$ vertices where every edge is chosen independently and with probability $p\equiv p(N)$. We rescale the matrix so that its bulk…

According to the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), even isolated quantum systems can thermalize because the eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations of typical observables vanish in the limit of large systems. Of course, isolated…

We develop a new method for deriving local laws for a large class of random matrices. It is applicable to many matrix models built from sums and products of deterministic or independent random matrices. In particular, it may be used to…

We consider a full rank deformation of the GUE $W_N+A_N$ where $A_N$ is a full rank Hermitian matrix of size $N$ and $W_N$ is a GUE. The empirical eigenvalue distribution $\mu_{A_N}$ of $A_N$ converges to a probability distribution $\nu$.…

We derive a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for $\log \left\vert\det \left( W_{N}-E_{N}\right)\right\vert,$ where $W_{N}$ is a Wigner matrix, and $E_{N}$ is local to the edge of the semi-circle law. Precisely, $E_N=2+N^{-2/3}\sigma_N$ with…

We study the local semicircle law for Gaussian $\beta$-ensembles at the edge of the spectrum. We prove that at the almost optimal level of $n^{-2/3+\epsilon}$, the local semicircle law holds for all $\beta \geq 1$ at the edge. The proof of…

A strongly non-integrable system is expected to satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, which states that the expectation value of an observable in an energy eigenstate is the same as the thermal value. This must be revised if the…
