Statistical analysis of chiral structured ensembles: role of matrix constraints

Abstract

We numerically analyze the statistical properties of complex system with conditions subjecting the matrix elements to a set of specific constraints besides symmetry, resulting in various structures in their matrix representation. Our results reveal an important trend: while the spectral statistics is strongly sensitive to the number of independent matrix elements, the eigenfunction statistics seems to be affected only by their relative strengths. This is contrary to previously held belief of one to one relation between the statistics of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues (e.g. associating Poisson statistics to the localized eigenfunctions and Wigner-Dyson statistics to delocalized ones).
