We establish new bounds on the rate of convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of this random matrix as n goes to infinity. When 1 < alpha < 2 we give vanishing bounds on the Lp-norm of the eigenvectors normalized to have unit L2-norm goes to 0. On the contrary, when 0 < alpha < 2/3, we prove that these eigenvectors are localized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-01-31T18:54:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15B52", "60B20", "60F15", "60E07" ], "keywords": [ "heavy-tailed random matrices", "eigenvectors", "delocalization", "hermitian random matrix", "alpha-stable symmetric distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 54, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1201.1862B" } } }
