A Theory of Diversity for Random Matrices with Applications to In-Context Learning of Schr”odinger Equations
arXiv:2601.12587v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We address the following question: given a collection ${mathbf{A}^{(1)}, dots, mathbf{A}^{(N)}}$ of independent $d times d$ random matrices drawn from a common distribution $mathbb{P}$, what is the probability that the centralizer of ${mathbf{A}^{(1)}, dots, mathbf{A}^{(N)}}$ is trivial? We provide lower bounds on this probability in terms of the sample size $N$ and the dimension $d$ for several families of random matrices which arise from the discretization of linear Schr”odinger operators with random potentials. When combined with recent work on machine learning theory, our results provide guarantees on the generalization ability of transformer-based neural networks for in-context learning of Schr”odinger equations.
