A recent line of work has studied the relationship between the Wishart matrix $X^\top X$, where $X\in \mathbb{R}^{d\times n}$ has i.i.d. standard Gaussian entries, and the corresponding Gaussian matrix with independent entries above the…

We present numerical results for various information theoretic properties of the square lattice Ising model. First, using a bond propagation algorithm, we find the difference $2H_L(w) - H_{2L}(w)$ between entropies on cylinders of finite…

Our research highlights the effectiveness of utilizing matrices akin to Wishart matrices, derived from magnetization time series data under specific dynamics, to elucidate phase transitions and critical phenomena in the Q-state Potts model.…

We study here the so-called spiked Wigner and Wishart models, where one observes a low-rank matrix perturbed by some Gaussian noise. These models encompass many classical statistical tasks such as sparse PCA, submatrix localization,…

We present a theory of the entanglement transition tuned by measurement strength in qudit chains evolved by random unitary circuits and subject to either weak or random projective measurements. The transition can be understood as a…

These lecture notes provide a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the analysis of Wishart matrix moments. This study may act as an introduction to some particular aspects of random matrix theory, or as a self-contained exposition…

We study the behavior of a real $p$-dimensional Wishart random matrix with $n$ degrees of freedom when $n,p\rightarrow\infty$ but $p/n\rightarrow 0$. We establish the existence of phase transitions when $p$ grows at the order…

Motivated by the estimation of covariance matrices by importance sampling arising in the cross-entropy (CE) algorithm, we study a random matrix model $\hat \Sigma = {\bf X} L {\bf X}^\top$ with two distinct features: $\bf X$ and $L$ are…

We establish several convexity properties for the entropy and Fisher information of mixtures of centered Gaussian distributions. First, we prove that if $X_1, X_2$ are independent scalar Gaussian mixtures, then the entropy of $\sqrt{t}X_1 +…

It is well known that an $n \times n$ Wishart matrix with $d$ degrees of freedom is close to the appropriately centered and scaled Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) if $d$ is large enough. Recent work of Bubeck, Ding, Eldan, and Racz, and…

Markov Random Field models are powerful tools for the study of complex systems. However, little is known about how the interactions between the elements of such systems are encoded, especially from an information-theoretic perspective. In…

We prove that the (square root) Fisher information functional is a strong Wasserstein upper gradient of the entropy on non-convex Riemannian domains. This fills a gap in the literature by allowing one to completely dispense from…

Phase transitions abound in nature and society, and, from species extinction to stock market collapse, their prediction is of widespread importance. In earlier work we showed that Global Transfer Entropy, a general measure of information…

Images obtained from coherent illumination processes are contaminated with speckle noise, with polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) imagery as a prominent example. With an adequacy widely attested in the literature, the scaled…

The pattern of isentropes in the vicinity of a first-order phase transition is proposed as a key for a sub-classification. While the confinement--deconfinement transition, conjectured to set in beyond a critical end point in the QCD phase…

We propose a new way of investigating phase transitions in the context of information theory. We use an information-entropic measure of spatial complexity known as configurational entropy (CE) to quantify both the storage and exchange of…

An information theory description of finite systems explicitly evolving in time is presented. We impose a MaxEnt variational principle on the Shannon entropy at a given time while the constraints are set at a former time. The resulting…

Vindicating a sophisticated but non-rigorous physics approach called the cavity method, we establish a formula for the mutual information in statistical inference problems induced by random graphs and we show that the mutual information…

We have discussed dynamical properties of the Tsallis entropy and the generalized Fisher information in nonextensive systems described by the Langevin model subjected to additive and multiplicative noise. Analytical expressions for the…

We make use of an entropic property to establish a convergence theorem (Main Theorem), which reveals that the conditional entropy measures the asymptotic Gaussianity. As an application, we establish the {\it entropic conditional central…
