abstract

In this paper we provide a new geometric characterization of the Hirschfeld-Gebelein-R\'{e}nyi maximal correlation of a pair of random $(X,Y)$, as well as of the chordal slope of the nontrivial boundary of the hypercontractivity ribbon of $(X,Y)$ at infinity. The new characterizations lead to simple proofs for some of the known facts about these quantities. We also provide a counterexample to a data processing inequality claimed by Erkip and Cover, and find the correct tight constant for this kind of inequality.

Retention Profiles and KL Contraction Bounds in Finite Markov Chains

math.PR · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Introduces retention profiles r(x) and localization ratio L(P) for row-wise KL contraction analysis in finite Markov chains, with convexity-gap identity equating divergence gap to mutual information and constructions decoupling L(P) from spectral gap and mixing time.

Local Information-Theoretic Security via Euclidean Geometry

cs.IT · 2025-10-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The work derives an approximate local secrecy capacity and defines secret local contraction coefficients as largest generalized eigenvalues of channel matrix pencils, obtained via local Euclidean geometry approximations to the wiretap channel optimization problem.
