AI中文摘要:
受Vaikuntanathan和Zamir的一个猜想启发,我们研究SO(n)上Kac游走的伪混合性,即短轨迹是否无法通过低复杂度测试与Haar测度区分。我们证明,在固定精度下,前k列在Wasserstein距离中以O(n(k+log n)log n)步长完成混合,解决了Oliveira的一个猜想。结合表示论方差界,我们表明若T=ω(nk(k+log n)log n),则每个归一化后Haar方差为1的k次多项式,在T步法则下的期望与其Haar期望的差在o(1)范围内。作为应用,我们证明该伪混合估计可用于证明具有常规目标维度的快速Johnson-Lindenstrauss变换的有效性。
英文摘要:
Motivated by a conjecture of Vaikuntanathan and Zamir, we study the pseudo-mixing of Kac's walk on $\mathrm{SO}(n)$: whether short trajectories are indistinguishable from Haar measure by low-complexity tests. We prove that the first $k$ columns mix in Wasserstein distance in $O(n(k+\log n)\log n)$ steps for fixed accuracy, resolving a conjecture of Oliveira. Combining this with a representation-theoretic variance bound, we show that if $T=ω(nk(k+\log n)\log n)$, then every degree-$k$ polynomial normalized to have unit Haar variance has expectation under the $T$-step law within $o(1)$ of its Haar expectation. As an application, we show that this pseudo-mixing estimate can be used to prove the effectiveness of a fast Johnson--Lindenstrauss transform with the usual target dimension.
