Random band matrices

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We survey recent mathematical results about the spectrum of random band matrices. We start by exposing the Erdős–Schlein–Yau dynamic approach, its application to Wigner matrices, and extension to other mean-field models. We then introduce random band matrices and the problem of their Anderson transition. We finally expose a method to obtain delocalization and universality in some sparse regimes, highlighting the role of quantum unique ergodicity.
