TL;DR

The large deviation principle (LDP) is studied for a tensor-weighted functional of i.i.d. random variables, when the sequence of tensors converges under a variant of the"bad"cut norm, and sufficient conditions for uniqueness of the optimizer and existence of constant optimizers are given.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the large deviation principle (LDP) for a tensor-weighted functional of i.i.d. random variables, when the sequence of tensors converges under a variant of the"bad"cut norm. Using the LDP, we analyze a Gibbs measure with a tensor-valued Hamiltonian, and characterize the optimizers of the limiting variational problem in terms of a functional fixed point equation. As applications, we focus on several concrete examples, which include monochromatic subgraph counts in sparse random graphs, Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi hypergraphs, and a generalized Potts statistic of order $v\ge 2$. Studying the optimization problem, we give sufficient conditions for uniqueness of the optimizer, as well as for existence of constant optimizers (replica symmetry). Our results demonstrate universal weak laws for a large class of tensor Gibbs models with approximately regular tensors.

The Global Topology of Orthogonally Decomposable Tensor Landscapes

The homogeneous form associated with a symmetric tensor, restricted to the sphere, is the objective of the best rank-one approximation problem and, with random coefficients, the energy of a mean-field spin glass. Its critical points have been studied extensively, but the global organization of the landscape they form i...

A Complete Characterization of Tensorizable $f$-divergences

Csiszar's formulation of the $f$-divergence introduced a vast family of functionals for quantifying dissimilarity between probability distributions. However, many applications in statistics and information theory rely only on a few $f$-divergences, such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the $\chi^2$-divergence, and t...

Positive Tensor-Network K\"ahler Metrics on gCICY Threefolds

We develop and implement a positive tensor-network parameterization for computing Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It replaces the large Hermitian coefficient matrix of a high-degree algebraic metric by a matrix-product factorization. For the immersed source spaces used here, the resulting metric is...

Regular simplex tensors: optimization landscape, conjecture proof, and beyond

The concept of tensor eigenpairs has attracted increasing research attention in the past decades. Recent works have focused on a special class termed regular simplex tensors, which are constructed from an equiangular tight frame of n vectors in (n-1) dimensional space for n>= 3 and order m>= 3. Existing works focus on...

Contraction of R\'enyi Divergences for Discrete Channels

We investigate Strong Data-Processing Inequality (SDPI) constants for R\'enyi Divergences on finite spaces. We study their dependence on the R\'enyi order $\alpha$, proving that they are non-decreasing and that their scaling by $(\alpha-1)$ is convex for $\alpha\geq1$. We also identify several support restrictions on t...

Low discrepancy and spectral gap for directed hypergraphs via spectral regularity lemma for tensors

We show that low discrepancy is equivalent to spectral gap for directed $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For undirected hypergraphs this recovers a theorem of Lenz and Mubayi, with a considerably shorter proof. At the heart of our argument is a Frieze--Kannan type spectral regularity lemma for hypergraphs based on the variatio...
