| contents | We investigate delocalization phenomena for eigenvectors of real random matrices that are invariant by orthogonal transformations. A specific phenomenon with these ensembles is that an eigenvector is typically more localized when its eigenvalue is closer to the real axis while for unitarily invariant ensembles, all eigenvectors are delocalized at the same level. More precisely, we measure the delocalization level of a vector $x\in \mathbb{C}^N$ using the Inverse Participation Ratio $\mathrm{IPR}(x) = N|x|_4^4 / |x|_2^4 \geqslant 1$. A higher IPR means a more localized vector. Using the exact distribution of the Schur decomposition of some paradigmatic rotation-invariant matrix models, we prove that conditionally on having an eigenvalue $λ$ with $|\mathfrak{Im}(λ)| = y / \sqrt{N}$, the IPR of the associated eigenvector converges in distribution towards a random variable $\ell_y$ with an explicit density depending only on $y$. We then prove that $\ell_y \to 3$ when $y \to 0$ and $\ell_y \to 2$ when $y\to +\infty$, coherently with the observed phenomenon.
This result is explicitly proved for higher-order IPRs and for the real Elliptic Ginibre ensemble at every non-symmetry parameter $τ\in [0,1[$, including the classical real Ginibre ensemble ($τ=0$). |
