Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis for Wigner-Type Matrices

We prove the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis for general Wigner-type matrices in the bulk of the self-consistent spectrum, with optimal control on the fluctuations for obs ervables of arbitrary rank. As the main technical ingredient, we prove rank-uniform optimal local laws for one and two resolvents of a Wigner-type matrix with regular observables. Our results hold under very general conditions on the variance profile, even allowing many vanishing entries, demonstrating that Eigenstate Thermalization occurs robustly across a diverse class of random matrix ensembles, for which the underlying quantum system has a non-trivial spatial structure.
