Eigenvector localization for random band matrices with power law band width

arXiv:0809.4405 · doi:10.1007/s00220-009-0798-0

Abstract

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 fraction of standard basis vectors, provided the band width raised to a power remains smaller than the matrix size . For a Gaussian band ensemble, with matrix elements given by i.i.d. centered Gaussians within a band of width , the estimate holds.
