point out actual matrix ensemble
Jul 3, 2010 at 15:30 comment added Helge Actually, I think I asked for the wrong computation :-( The interesting thing would be the value for the matrix entries distributed in $[-1,1]$ and not $[\ell, 1]$ for some $\ell \in (-1,0)$. The reason for this is once one has an eigenvector with $\sum_{n=1}^{N} u(n)$ perturbation theory tells us that this gets amplified.
Jul 3, 2010 at 15:04 comment added Helge @jc: Thanks. @Wadim: There are plenty of tools and recent work for random matrices. Just look at the not so few papers by Erdoes, Schlein, Tau, Vu, Yau and others....
Jul 3, 2010 at 14:45 comment added Wadim Zudilin Have you ever seen the structure of zeros of polynomials related to rational solutions of the Painlev\'e differential equations? Their structure is much more regular (and plots are nicer :-) ) but nothing is proved.

more plots
Jul 3, 2010 at 14:09 comment added Helge Do you mind also computing : $\max_{1\leq j \leq N} \sum_{n=1}^{N} u_j^N(n)$. Here $u_j^N$ denotes the $j$-th eigenvector of the $N \times N$ matrix. I would expect this to be $\frac{1}{2}$ based on my answer and your plots ... If this turns out to be true, one should ask oneself if this is known / proven?
