contents Consider the normalized adjacency matrices of random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices with fixed degree $d\geq 3$, and denote the eigenvalues as $λ_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq λ_2\geqλ_3\cdots\geq λ_N$. We prove that the optimal (up to an extra $N^{{\rm o}_N(1)}$ factor, where ${\rm o}_N(1)$ can be arbitrarily small) eigenvalue rigidity holds. More precisely, denote $γ_i$ as the classical location of the $i$-th eigenvalue under the Kesten-Mckay law in decreasing order. Then with probability $1-N^{-1+{\rm o}_N(1)}$, \begin{align*} |λ_i-γ_i|\leq \frac{N^{{\rm o}_N(1)}}{N^{2/3} (\min\{i,N-i+1\})^{1/3}},\quad \text{ for all } i\in \{2,3,\cdots,N\}. \end{align*} In particular, the fluctuations of extreme eigenvalues are bounded by $N^{-2/3+{\rm o}_N(1)}$. This gives the same order of fluctuation as for the eigenvalues of matrices from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble.

Consider the normalized adjacency matrices of random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices with fixed degree $d\geq 3$, and denote the eigenvalues as $λ_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq λ_2\geqλ_3\cdots\geq λ_N$. We prove that the optimal (up to an extra $N^{{\rm o}_N(1)}$ factor, where ${\rm o}_N(1)$ can be arbitrarily small) eigenvalue rigidity holds.
