RANDOM MATRICES: UNIVERSAL PROPERTIES OF EIGENVECTORS

Abstract

The four moment theorem asserts, roughly speaking, that the joint distribution of a small number of eigenvalues of a Wigner random matrix (when measured at the scale of the mean eigenvalue spacing) depends only on the first four moments of the entries of the matrix. In this paper, we extend the four moment theorem to also cover the coefficients of the eigenvectors of a Wigner random matrix. A similar result (with different hypotheses) has been proved recently by Knowles and Yin, using a different method. As an application, we prove some central limit theorems for these eigenvectors. In another application, we prove a universality result for the resolvent, up to the real axis. This implies universality of the inverse matrix.
