Geometric Dyson Brownian Motions and the Free Log-Normal Limit for a Non-Square Product of Random Matrices

Mufan Li, Jaume de Dios Pont, Mihai Nica, Daniel M. Roy

We study the squared singular value spectrum of a product of non-square random matrices, a setting that also corresponds to the feature covariance eigenvalues of a deep linear neural network at initialization. We first take a proportional depth-width $d,n$ limit with the number of data points $m$ held fixed, and show that the resulting covariance eigenvalue process satisfies a geometric version of Dyson Brownian motion. We then take a second, sequential mean-field limit corresponding to the scaling $dm/n\to\barτ$, and show that the limiting $T$-transform of the spectrum solves a Burgers equation. In the identity-start case this equation yields the free log-normal law, and the general limit is obtained by free multiplicative convolution with the free log-normal. We further obtain the free log-normal support formula, a fixed-point iteration for numerical evaluation, and a formal small-time Marchenko--Pastur approximation. We also use the limiting spectral law to predict a toy random-feature regression risk, finding close agreement with a finite-dimensional simulation.

Spectral Concentration and Recovery in Sparse High-Dimensional Random Geometric Graphs

Manuel Fernandez, Yizhe Zhu

We study sparse threshold random geometric graphs generated by high-dimensional spherical or Gaussian latent vectors. Although each edge has marginal probability $p$, shared latent variables make the adjacency entries dependent. At the connectivity scale $np=Ω(\log n)$, the spher…

NeuralChaos: Optimal Adapted Approximation of Square Integrable Predictable Processes

Anastasis Kratsios, Giulia Livieri, Philipp Schmocker

We address fundamental challenges in representing and computing $\mathbb{R}^{d}$-valued predictable square-integrable processes over $[0,T]$, collected in the space $\mathcal{H}^2_T(\mathbb{R}^{d})$. These processes are central to continuous-time stochastic control, reinforcement…

High Minima of Gaussian Processes: Overshoots and Minimizer Locations

Enkelejd Hashorva, Svyatoslav Novikov

Let $X(t)$, $t\in K$, be a centred Gaussian process with continuous sample paths on a compact metric space $K$, and let $M=\min_{t\in K}X(t)$. Let $σ_*^2$ denote the minimum covariance energy associated with $X$, and assume that $σ_*^2>0$. Motivated by the results of \cite{chakra…

Accelerated Mixing Time of Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Siddharth Mitra, Vishwak Srinivasan, Xiuyuan Wang, Andre Wibisono

We show the Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm has accelerated mixing time guarantees for sampling from log-concave probability distributions. RHMC proceeds by repeatedly simulating the continuous-time Hamiltonian dynamics for some random integration times, and r…
