Abstract

We study non-Hermitian random matrices belonging to the symmetry classes of the complex and symplectic Ginibre ensemble, and present a unifying and systematic framework for analysing mixed spectral moments involving both holomorphic and anti-holomorphic parts. For weight functions that induce a recurrence relation of the associated planar orthogonal polynomials, we derive explicit formulas for the spectral moments in terms of their orthogonal norms. This includes exactly solvable models such as the elliptic Ginibre ensemble and non-Hermitian Wishart matrices. In particular, we show that the holomorphic spectral moments of complex non-Hermitian random matrices coincide with those of their Hermitian limit up to a multiplicative constant, determined by the non-Hermiticity parameter. Moreover, we show that the spectral moments of the symplectic non-Hermitian ensemble admit a decomposition into two parts: one corresponding to the complex ensemble and the other constituting an explicit correction term. This structure closely parallels that found in the Hermitian setting, which naturally arises as the Hermitian limit of our results. Within this general framework, we perform a large-$N$ asymptotic analysis of the spectral moments for the elliptic Ginibre and non-Hermitian Wishart ensemble, revealing the mixed moments of the elliptic and non-Hermitian Marchenko--Pastur laws. Furthermore, for the elliptic Ginibre ensemble, we employ a recently developed differential operator method for the associated correlation kernel, to derive an alternative explicit formula for the spectral moments and obtain their genus-type large-$N$ expansion.

Why we should condition denoising diffusion generative models on windows of past observations

Data assimilation (DA) is, traditionally, a cycling process that relies on time-dependent priors to propagate information from past observations to future cycles. Using denoising diffusion generative modeling for DA is challenging because standard approaches use a fixed training data set, which in turn leads to a static prior that ignores information from past observations. Because past observations are ignored, DA systems with static priors lead to larger posterior errors than cycling DA systems. Incorporating time-dependent priors into generative models, however, requires expensive and frequent retraining. Motivated by linear systems theory - where the dependence of a prediction of a Kalman filter on past observations decays exponentially - we condition diffusion models on short windows of past observations. Specifically, we describe training procedures for two frameworks: a diffusion DA system predicting the current state given a set of past observations, and a diffusion ``direct observation prediction'' (DOP) system, predicting future observations given a set of past observations. Using a canonical linear system, we show that both systems can achieve the minimal posterior error characteristic of a fully-cycled DA/DOP system, without re-training, provided the time windows are long enough. The linear setup ensures analytical tractability, avoids confounding neural network training errors, and confirms that conditioning on windows of past observations is required for efficient and accurate diffusion-based DA or DOP.

The kinematic structures and the inertial geometry of a moving charge

We ask how much of the geometry a charged particle moves in is fixed by its motion, and how much a particle must bring. We ask of a symplectic structure only that it relate velocity to momentum as Hamilton's equations do, and we ask it of every energy at once. In particular, we show that the structures meeting that demand are the canonical one and its twists by a closed two-form of the base. A field provides the two-form, a particle the multiplier before it, which we identify constitutively with its charge. Thus, a single energy governs a family of structures, and each particle takes the one its charge fixes. We then ask what a particle must bring to be given a momentum, and we show that the degree of that map settles the degree at which a field enters Newton's Second Law. An antisymmetric bilinear form returns no Lorentz force, whilst a Randers metric returns one --- a length whose difference from a Riemannian one is linear in the velocity. Moreover, we find that metric already within the twisted structure, as its primitive over a level of the free energy, and its law of transport to be nonlinear, no affine connection being known to serve. Under an indefinite signature the length parts from the dynamics, and the extremals turn from shortest to longest. On the round sphere a monopole flux leaves no such metric, whilst the transport remains and prequantisation, given a unit of action, restricts the charge to a lattice. In this manner, we conclude that each charge-to-mass ratio receives a geometry of its own, so that by a functionalist criterion none of them is the spacetime of a charged particle.
