Spectral alignment of correlated Gaussian random matrices

Résumé

In this paper we analyze a simple method ($EIG1$) for the problem of matrix alignment, consisting in aligning their leading eigenvectors: given $A$ and $B$, we compute $v_1$ and $v'_1$ two leading eigenvectors of $A$ and $B$. The algorithm returns a permutation $\hat{\Pi}$ such that the rank of the coordinate $\hat{\Pi}(i)$ in $v_1$ is the rank of the coordinate $i$ in $v'_1$ (up to the sign of $v'_1$). We consider a model where $A$ belongs to the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), and $B= \Pi^T (A+\sigma H) \Pi $, where $\Pi$ is a permutation matrix and $H$ is an independent copy of $A$. We show the following 0-1 law: under the condition $\sigma N^{7/6+\epsilon} \to 0$, the $EIG1$ method recovers all but a vanishing part of the underlying permutation $\Pi$. When $\sigma N^{7/6-\epsilon} \to \infty$, this algorithm cannot recover more than $o(N)$ correct matches. This result gives an understanding of the simplest and fastest spectral method for matrix alignment (or complete weighted graph alignment), and involves proof methods and techniques which could be of independent interest.
