Abstract

Given two positive integers nn and kk and a parameter t(0,1)t\in (0,1), we choose at random a vector subspace VnCkCnV_{n}\subset \mathbb{C}^{k}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{n} of dimension NtnkN\sim tnk. We show that the set of kk-tuples of singular values of all unit vectors in VnV_n fills asymptotically (as nn tends to infinity) a deterministic convex set Kk,tK_{k,t} that we describe using a new norm in Rk\R^k. Our proof relies on free probability, random matrix theory, complex analysis and matrix analysis techniques. The main result result comes together with a law of large numbers for the singular value decomposition of the eigenvectors corresponding to large eigenvalues of a random truncation of a matrix with high eigenvalue degeneracy.
