The Thouless formula for random non-Hermitian Jacobi matrices

Abstract: Random non-Hermitian Jacobi matrices J n of increasing dimension n are considered. We prove that the normalized eigenvalue counting measure of J n converges weakly to a limiting measure µ as n → ∞. We also extend to the non-Hermitian case the Thouless formula relating µ and the Lyapunov exponent of the second-order difference equation associated with the sequence J n . The measure µ is shown to be log-Hölder continuous.

“…Lemma 6.4 follows from [9, Lemma 11.2] and is based on Girko's original observation [21,22]. The lemma has appeared in a number of different forms; for example, see [11,Lemma 4.3] and [25]. Lemma 6.4 (Lemma 11.2 from [9]).…”

“…When a i /b i > 0 and {(a i−1 , d i , b i )} is a sequence of i.i.d. random vectors with all moments finite, this tridiagonal random matrix is motivated by the non-Hermitian quantum mechanics of Hatano and Nelson (see [21] and references therein). In this case, it follows from Corollary 3.5 that the traces are approximated normally distributed.…”

“…The non-symmetric model with a i /b i > 0 also arises in the non-Hermitian quantum mechanics of Hatano and Nelson, see e.g. [21] and references therein. Tridiagonal random matrix is also a basic model of random walks with random environment in chain graphs, interesting examples include the random birth-death Markov kernel proposed in [5,8], where a i−1 + d i + b i = 1 and {(a i−1 , d i , b i )} is an ergodic random field, and the random birth-death Q matrix recently studied in [23], where d i = −(a i−1 + b i ) and {a i } and {b i } are two sequences of strictly stationary ergodic processes.…”
