Abstract

A famous result of Horn and Fitzgerald is that the β-th Hadamard power of any n � n positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. for all β � n�2 and is not necessarily p.s.d. for β < n � 2, with β /� N. In this article, we study this question for random Wishart matrix An:= XnXTn, where Xn is n � n matrix with i.i.d. Gaussian entries. It is shown that applying x � |x|α entrywise to An, the resulting matrix is p.s.d., with high probability, for α > 1 and is not p.s.d., with high probability, for α < 1. It is also shown that if Xn are (Formula Presented) matrices, for any s < 1, then the transition of positivity occurs at the exponent α = s. © 2023, Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
