Fixed energy universality for Dyson Brownian motion

Abstract

We consider Dyson Brownian motion for classical values of $\beta$ with deterministic initial data $V$. We prove that the local eigenvalue statistics coincide with the GOE/GUE in the fixed energy sense after time $t \gtrsim 1/N$ if the density of states of $V$ is bounded above and below down to scales $\eta \ll t$ in a window of size $L \gg \sqrt{t}.$ Our results imply that fixed energy universality holds for essentially any random matrix ensemble for which averaged energy universality was previously known. Our methodology builds on the homogenization theory developed in [BEYY] which reduces the microscopic problem to a mesoscopic problem. As an auxiliary result we prove a mesoscopic central limit theorem for linear statistics of various classes of test functions for classical Dyson Brownian motion.
