If we have a random unit vector on $\mathbb{C}^n$, drawn from the Fubini-Study metric, the marginal distribution of the squared absolute valuevalues of each of the coefficients in the vector is given by a Beta distribution with shape parameters $\alpha=1$, $\beta=n-1$. (See for example Zyczkowski and Sommers).

However, this doesn't immediately translate to a statement about the order statistics, since the variables are not independent (they are constrained to sum to 1, for example).

What is the distribution of the largest magnitude of the coefficients in the vector, that is, the first order statistic?
