Moments on the Stiefel manifold

Let $S_{n, k} = \{V \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times k} : V^T V = I_k\}$ denote the Stiefel manifold, $1 \leq k \leq n$. Let $P \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ denote a symmetric real, positive definite matrix, ...

Multilinear non-commutative Khintchine inequality

Let $g_1,\ldots,g_k$ be independent standard Gaussians and for each index $(i_1,\ldots,i_k)\in [n]^k$ let $A_{i_1,\ldots,i_k}$ be a $d\times d$ symmetric matrix. Question: Is there a known bound for ...

Can we show that for every $\delta>0$, there exist constants $\alpha>0, \beta>0$ so that the following inequality holds with high probability?

Consider two $n-$dimensional random vectors $u$ and $v$ uniformly distributed on the sphere. Define $X_n :=u\cdot v$. Note that as $n\to \infty$, $\sqrt{n}X_n \to N(0,1)$ as $n\to \infty$. Fix $\...

Can we get that $ P(N^{2/3}(\lambda_N-\lambda_{N-1})\le c)\ge 1-\epsilon$?

Following this question: Can we apply the continuous mapping theorem for the limiting joint distribution of the Tracy-Widom law?. We know that $$ \lim_{N\to\infty}P(N^{2/3}(\lambda_N-2)\le s_1,\dotsc,...

Random matrix with given singular values

Let $\sigma_1\geq\sigma_2\geq...\geq\sigma_n\geq0$ be any deterministic sequence of positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i=1}^n\sigma_i^2=1$. Let $$D=diag\{\sigma_1,...,\sigma_n\}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\...

A concentration problem of product of matrices

Let $A$ be an $n \times m$ matrix with non-negative entries and $B \in \mathbb{R^{n\times n}_{\geq 0}}, C \in \mathbb{R^{m\times m}_{\geq 0}}$ be random matrices where B and C are both symmetric and ...

Probability for high mutual coherence on all subsets of a Gaussian vector set

We examine as set of independent normal vectors: $$ \forall i \in [N]\triangleq \{1,\dots,N\}:\,\mathbf{x}_{i}\sim\mathcal{N}\left(0,\mathbf{I}_{d}\right)$$ For any $\epsilon>0$ and $K\leq N$, we ...

Upper bound on the number of binary matrices with small rank

I'm looking for the tightest upper bound on the number of different binary matrices $A \in {\{-1,1\}^{m \times n}}$ for which $\mathrm{rank}(A)\leq r$. I'm interested in the regime $1 \ll r \ll m \...
