Eigenvectors of non normal random matrices

Abstract

We study the angles between the eigenvectors of a random $n\times n$ complex matrix $M$ with density $\propto \mathrm{e}^{-n\operatorname{Tr}V(M^*M)}$ and $x\mapsto V(x^2)$ convex. We prove that for unit eigenvectors $\mathbf{v},\mathbf{v}'$ associated with distinct eigenvalues $λ,λ'$ that are the closest to specified points $z,z'$ in the complex plane, the rescaled inner product $$\sqrt{n}(λ'-λ)\langle\mathbf{v},\mathbf{v}'\rangle$$ is uniformly sub-Gaussian, and give a more precise statement in the case of the Ginibre ensemble.
