Marchenko-Pastur law for a random tensor model

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the limiting spectral distribution of large-dimensional sample covariance matrices associated with symmetric random tensors formed by different products of d variables chosen from n independent standardized random variables. We find optimal sufficient conditions for this distribution to be the Marchenko-Pastur law in the case d=d(n) and noinfty. Our conditions reduce to d2=o(n) when the variables have uniformly bounded fourth moments. The proofs are based on a new concentration inequality for quadratic forms in symmetric random tensors and a law of large numbers for elementary symmetric random polynomials.


The paper concerns large-dimensional sample covariance matrices associated with some symmetric random tensors and their limiting spectral distribution. The main result is a description of sufficient conditions for this distribution to be the Marchenko-Pasteur law when \(d=d(n)\) as \(n\to\infty\).
