The Restricted Isometry Property of Subsampled Fourier Matrices
A matrix satisfies the restricted isometry
property of order with constant if it preserves the
norm of all -sparse vectors up to a factor of . We prove
that a matrix obtained by randomly sampling rows from an Fourier matrix satisfies the restricted
isometry property of order with a fixed with high
probability. This improves on Rudelson and Vershynin (Comm. Pure Appl. Math.,
2008), its subsequent improvements, and Bourgain (GAFA Seminar Notes, 2014).Comment: 16 page
On the Lattice Isomorphism Problem
We study the Lattice Isomorphism Problem (LIP), in which given two lattices
L_1 and L_2 the goal is to decide whether there exists an orthogonal linear
transformation mapping L_1 to L_2. Our main result is an algorithm for this
problem running in time n^{O(n)} times a polynomial in the input size, where n
is the rank of the input lattices. A crucial component is a new generalized
isolation lemma, which can isolate n linearly independent vectors in a given
subset of Z^n and might be useful elsewhere. We also prove that LIP lies in the
complexity class SZK.Comment: 23 pages, SODA 201
On Minrank and Forbidden Subgraphs
The minrank over a field of a graph on the vertex set
is the minimum possible rank of a matrix such that for every , and
for every distinct non-adjacent vertices and in . For an
integer , a graph , and a field , let
denote the maximum possible minrank over of an -vertex graph
whose complement contains no copy of . In this paper we study this quantity
for various graphs and fields . For finite fields, we prove by
a probabilistic argument a general lower bound on , which
yields a nearly tight bound of for the triangle
. For the real field, we prove by an explicit construction that for
every non-bipartite graph , for some
. As a by-product of this construction, we disprove a
conjecture of Codenotti, Pudl\'ak, and Resta. The results are motivated by
questions in information theory, circuit complexity, and geometry.Comment: 15 page
