What can be said about the distribution of the coordinates of $v_2$? Specifically, does $v_2$ tend to be uniformly distributed on the unit sphere (in which the distribution of these coordinates is nearly normal)?</p> <p>Does anyone know some advances on this problem?</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/104870/distribution-of-the-coordinates-of-the-second-eigenvalues-of-a-large-d-regular-gr/104879#104879 Answer by Igor Rivin for distribution of the coordinates of the second eigenvalues of a large d-regular graph Igor Rivin 2012-08-16T23:29:18Z 2012-08-16T23:29:18Z <p>You might want to check ou<a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.5306.pdf" rel="nofollow">t this preprint by Dimitriou and Pal</a>, and voluminous references therein.</p>
