What does $\mathbb E_V \max_{x \in V,\,\|x\|=1} x^T Ax$ evaluate to when $V$ is random $k$-dim suspace of $\mathbb R^n$ and $A$ is fixed psd matrix?
Let $G_{k,n}$ be the grassmannian of $k$-dimensional vector spaces of $\mathbb R^n$. By the Courant–Fisher characterization, the $k$th largest eigenvalue of an $n \times n$ psd matrix $A$ is given by
