Random assignment problems on \(2d\) manifolds




Abstract: We consider the assignment problem between two sets of N random points on a smooth, two-dimensional manifold Omega of unit area. It is known that the average cost scales as EOmega(N)simfrac12pilnN with a correction that is at most of order sqrtlnNlnlnN. In this paper, we show that, within the linearization approximation of the field-theoretical formulation of the problem, the first Omega-dependent correction is on the constant term, and can be exactly computed from the spectrum of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on Omega. We perform the explicit calculation of this constant for various families of surfaces, and compare our predictions with extensive numerics.
