Abstract: In the anisotropic random geometric graph model, vertices correspond to points drawn from a high-dimensional Gaussian distribution and two vertices are connected if their distance is smaller than a specified threshold. We study when it is possible to hypothesis test between such a graph and an ErdH{o}s-R'enyi graph with the same edge probability. If $n$ is the number of vertices and $alpha$ is the vector of eigenvalues, Eldan and Mikulincer show that detection is possible when $n^{3}gg(|alpha{|}_2/|alpha{|}_3{)}^6$ and impossible when $n^{3}ll(|alpha{|}_2/|alpha{|}_4{)}^4$. We show detection is impossible when $n^{3}ll(|alpha{|}_2/|alpha{|}_3{)}^6$, closing this gap and affirmatively resolving the conjecture of Eldan and Mikulincer.
