The expected number of Z-eigenvalues of a real gaussian tensor

Algebraic Geometry 2017-01-24 v4

Abstract

A real number λ\lambda is called a Z-eigenvalue of a tensor AA, if λ\lambda is an eigenvalue of AA and the corresponding eigenvector vv is real and satisfies vTv=1v^Tv=1. In this paper we compute the expected number of Z-eigenvalues of a real gaussian tensor and its asymptotic behaviour. Here we call a tensor A=(Ai0,,id)Rnd+1A=(A_{i_0,\ldots,i_{d}}) \in\mathbb{R}^{n^{d+1}} gaussian, when the Ai0,,idA_{i_0,\ldots,i_{d}} are centered gaussian random variables with variance σ2=1\sigma^2= 1.
