Polytopal realizations of finite type g\mathbf{g}-vector fans

This paper shows the polytopality of any finite type $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan, acyclic or not. In fact, for any finite Dynkin type $\Gamma$, we construct a universal associahedron $\mathsf{Asso}_{\mathrm{un}}(\Gamma)$ with the property that any $\mathbf{g}$-vector fan of type $\Gamma$ is the normal fan of a suitable projection of $\mathsf{Asso}_{\mathrm{un}}(\Gamma)$.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures; Version 2: Minor changes in the introductio

New Results on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Broadcast Channels with Confidential Messages

This paper presents two new results on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Gaussian broadcast channels with confidential messages. First, the problem of the MIMO Gaussian wiretap channel is revisited. A matrix characterization of the capacity-equivocation region is provided, which extends the previous result on the secrecy capacity of the MIMO Gaussian wiretap channel to the general, possibly imperfect secrecy setting. Next, the problem of MIMO Gaussian broadcast channels with two receivers and three independent messages: a common message intended for both receivers, and two confidential messages each intended for one of the receivers but needing to be kept asymptotically perfectly secret from the other, is considered. A precise characterization of the capacity region is provided, generalizing the previous results which considered only two out of three possible messages.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 11 pages, 5 figure

A Random Matrix Approach to Dynamic Factors in macroeconomic data

We show how random matrix theory can be applied to develop new algorithms to extract dynamic factors from macroeconomic time series. In particular, we consider a limit where the number of random variables N and the number of consecutive time measurements T are large but the ratio N / T is fixed. In this regime the underlying random matrices are asymptotically equivalent to Free Random Variables (FRV).Application of these methods for macroeconomic indicators for Poland economy is also presented.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:physics/0512090 by other author
