Abstract

We construct strongly convergent finite-dimensional random matrix models for finite $q$-Gaussian family in the range $\vert q \vert<\sqrt{2}-1$. The construction has two stages. First, we show that normalized sums of graph-product semicirculars over an Erdos-Renyi graph satisfy the $q$-Toeplitz relations up to an operator norm error converging to zero in probability. Using ultraproduct methods, this yields complete strong convergence, uniformly over all matrix coefficient dimensions, for noncommutative polynomials with bounded degree. Second, we use a quantitative tensor-GUE for graph-product semicirculars to convert these operator models into finite-dimensional random matrices. For every fixed polynomial degree, the convergence is uniform over coefficient dimensions that may be larger than the dimension of the random matrices. As applications, in the above range of $q$, the C$^\ast$-algebra generated by a finite $q$-Gaussian family is MF, and the Brown-Douglas-Fillmore extension semigroup of the nontrivial C$^\ast$-algebra generated by a finite $q$-Gaussian family is not a group.

Matrix group $\Lambda$-distributions

The $\Lambda$-distribution of a compact matrix group is an invariant in algebraic probability theory that was recently introduced to study zero distributions of function field $L$-functions. It is encoded by the $\sigma$-moment generating function, a generalization of the Molien series of classical invariant theory. In...

Sharp Threshold for Universality of Rational Canonical Forms over a Finite Field

We study the rational canonical form of sparse random matrices over a finite field. Suppose $A_n\in \operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ has independent and $\alpha_n$-balanced entries. We prove that if $$ \liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{n\alpha_n}{\log n}>1, $$ then, for every fixed collection of distinct monic irreducible p...

Exact quantum splitting and the structure of finite algebras

This work gives an unconditional exact quantum implementation in a circuit model permitting single-qubit rotations through efficiently computable angles and combines R'onyai's classical structure theory with R'onyai's classical structure theory to yield the radical and the Wedderburn decomposition.

Absolutely summing operators on Bergman spaces over convex domains of finite type

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ be a smoothly bounded convex domain of finite type. We characterize absolute summability on its Bergman spaces and estimate approximation errors in the summing norm. For $1<p<\infty$ and $1\le q,r<\infty$, we characterize absolutely $r$-summing Carleson embeddings $A^p(\Omega)\to L^q(\mu)...

The Fixed-$q$ Edge Limit of the $q$-Krawtchouk Ensemble

We study the fixed-$q$ right-edge asymptotics of the ordinary $q$-Krawtchouk ensemble. For $0<q<1$, finite polynomial duality gives a direct proof of convergence of the correlation kernels to an explicit limiting kernel. The local Jacobi limit is a shifted continuous $q^{-1}$-Hermite expression with an indeterminate mo...

Singular Cholesky Fibers over Finite Fields

For a finite field $\F_q$, consider the triangular Cholesky map $\Gamma_{n,q}(U)=U^TU$ from upper triangular matrices to symmetric matrices. Generalized Cholesky theory describes the regular locus on which all leading principal minors are nonzero, but it does not determine the multiplicities or root ranks in a fiber ov...
