Study asymptotics of unitary matrix elements in quantum mechanics.

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…

Consistent model selection for spiked Wigner model via AIC-type criteria.

In this paper we study global properties of the Wigner caustic of parameterized closed planar curves. We find new results on its geometry and singular points. In particular, we consider the Wigner caustic of rosettes, i.e. regular closed parameterized curves with non-vanishing curvature. We present a decomposition of a…

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…

Study on eigenvalue distribution of correlated time series deforming the semi-circle law.

In this paper we study singular points of the Wigner caustic and affine $λ$--equidistants of planar curves based on shapes of these curves. We generalize the Blaschke-Süss theorem on the existence of antipodal pairs of a convex curve.

We analyze a new spectral graph matching algorithm, GRAph Matching by Pairwise eigen-Alignments (GRAMPA), for recovering the latent vertex correspondence between two unlabeled, edge-correlated weighted graphs. Extending the exact recovery guarantees established in the companion paper for Gaussian weights, in this work,…

Affine $λ$-equidistants of convex polygons with parallel opposite sides have applications to isoperimetric inequalities.

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…

Paper develops new method for detecting latent structure in large symmetric data matrices.

We consider the weak detection problem in a rank-one spiked Wigner data matrix where the signal-to-noise ratio is small so that reliable detection is impossible. We propose a hypothesis test on the presence of the signal by utilizing the linear spectral statistics of the data matrix. The test is data-driven and does no…

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…

Study optimal algorithms for recovering signals through inhomogeneous low-rank channels.

The classical isoperimetric inequality in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ states that for a simple closed curve $M$ of the length $L_{M}$, enclosing a region of the area $A_{M}$, one gets \begin{align*} L_{M}^2\geqslant 4πA_{M}. \end{align*} In this paper we present the improved isoperimetric inequality, which state…

PPM improves graph matching for correlated Gaussian Wigner models with high probability.

We study the statistical decision process of detecting the signal from a `signal+noise' type matrix model with an additive Wigner noise. We propose a hypothesis test based on the linear spectral statistics of the data matrix, which does not depend on the distribution of the signal or the noise. The test is optimal unde…

Paper tackles robust graph matching in dense graphs with AMP type algorithm.

The manipulation of LIBOR by a group of banks became one of the major blows to the remaining confidence in financial industry. Yet, despite an enormous amount of popular literature on the subject, rigorous time-series studies are few. In my paper, I discuss the following hypothesis. Namely, if we should assume for a st…

Paper studies vertex correspondence recovery in correlated graphs with node features.

We study the fundamental limits of detecting the presence of an additive rank-one perturbation, or spike, to a Wigner matrix. When the spike comes from a prior that is i.i.d. across coordinates, we prove that the log-likelihood ratio of the spiked model against the non-spiked one is asymptotically normal below a certai…

In this paper we study the isoperimetric-type equalities for rosettes, i.e. regular closed planar curves with non-vanishing curvature. We find the exact relations between the length and the oriented area of rosettes based on the oriented areas of the Wigner caustic, the Constant Width Measure Set and the Spherical Meas…

For simple Lie groups, the only homogeneous manifolds $G/K$, where $K$ is maximal compact subgroup,for which the phase of the scalar product of two coherent state vectors is twice the symplectic area of a geodesic triangle are the hermitian symmetric spaces. An explicit calculation of the multiplicative factor on the c…

We present a generally covariant approach to quantum mechanics in which generalized positions, momenta and time variables are treated as coordinates on a fundamental "phase-spacetime." We show that this covariant starting point makes quantization into a purely geometric flatness condition. This makes quantum mechanics …

In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible invariant semiclassical measures obtained as limits of Wigner measures correspondin…

We study the Liouville action for quasi-Fuchsian groups with parabolic and elliptic elements. In particular, when the group is Fuchsian, the contribution of elliptic elements to the classical Liouville action is derived in terms of the Bloch-Wigner functions. We prove the first and second variation formulas for the cla…

We define a new type of manifold and show it has properties like a pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

Consider a finite connected graph possibly with multiple edges and loops. In discrete geometric analysis, Kotani and Sunada constructed the crystal associated to the graph as a standard realization of the maximal abelian covering of the graph. As an application of what the author showed in an earlier paper with Seshadr…
