PCA can detect a low-rank signal but is suboptimal for non-Gaussian matrices and synchronization problems.
problem Understanding the optimal and suboptimal performance of PCA in spiked random matrix models.
method Analysis of spiked random matrix models, including Gaussian and non-Gaussian Wigner ensembles, and synchronization problems.
result PCA achieves optimal detection for Gaussian Wigner ensembles under benign priors but is suboptimal for non-Gaussian matrices and synchronization problems.
We show that, for each alpha in the interval (-1,1), the only Riemannian metrics on the space of positive definite matrices for which the alpha and -alpha-connections are mutually dual are matrix multiples fo the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson metric. If we further impose that the metric be monotone, then this set is reduced to s…
Wigner's theorem asserts that an isometric (probability conserving) transformation on a quantum state space must be generated by a Hamiltonian that is Hermitian. It is shown that when the Hermiticity condition on the Hamiltonian is relaxed, we obtain the following complex generalisation of Wigner's theorem: a holomorph…
We study random Morse functions on a Riemann manifold (Mm,g) defined as a random Gaussian weighted superpositions of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of the metric g. The randomness is determined by a fixed Schwartz function w and a small parameter ε>0. We first prove that as ε→0 the ex…
On the manifold of positive definite matrices, we investigate the existence of pairs of flat affine connections, dual with respect to a given monotone metric. The connections are defined either using the α-embeddings and finding the duals with respect to the metric, or by means of contrast functionals. We show that i…

Study of correlated Wigner matrices with BBP transitions.
problem Understanding spectral transitions in correlated Wigner matrices.
method Analyzes a Wigner-type matrix with row/column correlations, decomposes into bulk and outliers, and uses integral operators to model transitions.
result Correlated Wigner matrices exhibit multiple BBP transitions at critical points.
We present an original and novel method based on random matrix approach that enables to distinguish the respective role of temporal autocorrelations inside given time series and cross correlations between various time series. The proposed algorithm is based on properties of Wigner eigenspectrum of random matrices inste…
Signatures of universality are detected by comparing individual eigenvalue distributions and level spacings from financial covariance matrices to random matrix predictions. A chopping procedure is devised in order to produce a statistical ensemble of asset-price covariances from a single instance of financial data sets…
GRAMPA algorithm recovers latent vertex correspondence in correlated graphs with high probability.
problem Recovering latent vertex correspondence between unlabeled, edge-correlated weighted graphs.
method Spectral graph matching algorithm, GRAMPA, with exact recovery guarantees for Erdős-Rényi graphs.
result GRAMPA exactly recovers latent vertex correspondence with high probability for Erdős-Rényi graphs with edge correlation coefficient 1−σ2 and average degree at least polylog(n) when σ≲1/polylog(n).
We prove that either the images of the mapping class groups by quantum representations are not isomorphic to higher rank lattices or else the kernels have a large number of normal generators. Further we show that the images of the mapping class groups have nontrivial 2-cohomology, at least for small levels. For this pu…

method Definition and calculation of Ricci curvature for two-dimensional hydrodynamics using finite-dimensional Zeitlin models.
result Strong numerical evidence suggests convergence of finite-dimensional approximations to infinite-dimensional limit, indicating average instability for high-frequency modes.
