Abstract

We study the eigenvector mass distribution for generalized Wigner matrices on a set of coordinates II, where NεIN1εN^\varepsilon \le | I | \le N^{1- \varepsilon}, and prove it converges to a Gaussian at every energy level, including the edge, as NN\rightarrow \infty. The key technical input is a four-point decorrelation estimate for eigenvectors of matrices with a large Gaussian component. Its proof is an application of the maximum principle to a new set of moment observables satisfying parabolic evolution equations. Additionally, we prove high-probability Quantum Unique Ergodicity and Quantum Weak Mixing bounds for all eigenvectors and all deterministic sets of entries using a novel bootstrap argument.
