Ohio State Title: Gaussian properties of normal vectors in random discrete matrices Abstract: Let X1,..., Xn-1 be independent vectors in Rn, and X be a unit vector orthogonal to these vectors. It is clear that if the entries of Xi are iid standard Gaussian then X is uniformly distributed on the unit sphere. In this talk we show that this property remains asymptotically true for X even when the entries of Xi have Bernoulli distributions. (partly joint with V. Vu) Date: Thursday, April 13, 2017 Time: 3:30 pm Location: Wean Hall 8220 Note: before the talk, at 3:10 pm, there will be tea and cookies in Wean Hall 6220 |
