Abstract: We investigate the noise sensitivity of the top eigenvector of a sparse random symmetric matrix. Let v be the top eigenvector of an NimesN sparse random symmetric matrix with an average of d non-zero centered entries per row. We resample k randomly chosen entries of the matrix and obtain another realization of the random matrix with top eigenvector v[k]. Building on recent results on sparse random matrices and a noise sensitivity analysis previously developed for Wigner matrices, we prove that, if dgeqN2/9, with high probability, when kllN5/3, the vectors v and v[k] are almost collinear and, on the contrary, when kggN5/3, the vectors v and v[k] are almost orthogonal. A similar result holds for the eigenvector associated to the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of an ErdH{o}s-R'enyi random graph with average degree dgeqN2/9.
