Abstract: Consider a random matrix H:mathbbRnlongrightarrowmathbbRm. Let Dgeq2 and let Wll=1p be a set of k-dimensional affine subspaces of mathbbRn. We ask what is the probability that for all 1leqlleqp and x,yinWl, [ |x-y|_2leq|Hx-Hy|_2leq D|x-y|_2. ] We show that for and a variety of different classes of random matrices H, which include the class of Gaussian matrices, existence is assured and the probability is very high. The estimate on m is tight in terms of k,p,D.


The authors prove the following theorem. Let \(\Gamma\) be an \(m\times n\) random matrix whose rows are i.i.d. \(\Psi _2\) random vectors satisfying certain concentration properties. Let \(D\geq 2\) and \(\{W_{\ell}\}_{\ell =1}^p\) be a collection of \(k\)-dimensional subspaces of \(\ell _2^n\). Let \(m\geq C(k+\ln p/\ln D)\). Then there exists \(L>0\) such that for every \(\ell\leq p\) and every \(x, y\in W_{\ell}\) \[ \frac{L}{D}\, \|x-y\|_2\leq \|\Gamma (x) -\Gamma (y)\|_2 \leq L \|x-y\|_2 \] with probability at least \(1-D^{-m/5}\). This theorem is a ``large distortion counterpart of a theorem from \textit{A. Dmitriyuk} and \textit{Y. Gordon} [Stud. Math. 195, No. 3, 227--241 (2009; Zbl 1192.46012)].
