Abstract
We investigate the statistical properties of the spectrum of large symmetrical matrices with each element chosen according to a broad distribution ρ(H) decaying for large H as . For μ>2, 〈〉 is finite and the well known Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) results are recovered. When μtwo mobility edges appear, separating extended from localized states, with an intermediate ‘‘mixed’’ phase in between. The unusual nature of these localized states is discussed.
