We consider a problem in random matrix theory that is inspired by quantum information theory: determining the largest eigenvalue of a sum of p random product states in (C^d)^{otimes k}, where k and p/d^k are fixed while d grows. When k=1,…

Real-world signals typically span across multiple dimensions, that is, they naturally reside on multi-way data structures referred to as tensors. In contrast to standard ``flat-view'' multivariate matrix models which are agnostic to data…

Let $S=XX^T$ be the (unscaled) sample covariance matrix where $X$ is a real $p \times n$ matrix with independent entries. It is well known that if the entries of $X$ are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) with enough moments…
