Bulk eigenvalue statistics for random regular graphs (1505.06700v3)

Abstract: We consider the uniform random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices, with $d \in [N^\alpha, N^{2/3-\alpha}]$ for arbitrary $\alpha > 0$. We prove that in the bulk of the spectrum the local eigenvalue correlation functions and the distribution of the gaps between consecutive eigenvalues coincide with those of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble.
