abstract

Given i.i.d. observations uniformly distributed on a closed manifold $\mathcal{M}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^p$, we study the spectral properties of the associated empirical graph Laplacian based on a Gaussian kernel. Our main results are non-asymptotic error bounds, showing that the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the empirical graph Laplacian are close to the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of $\mathcal{M}$. In our analysis, we connect the empirical graph Laplacian to kernel principal component analysis, and consider the heat kernel of $\mathcal{M}$ as reproducing kernel feature map. This leads to novel points of view and allows to leverage results for empirical covariance operators in infinite dimensions.

  1. Minimax Rates for the Estimation of Eigenpairs of Weighted Laplace-Beltrami Operators on Manifolds

    stat.ML 2025-05 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    The minimax rate for estimating eigenpairs of weighted Laplace-Beltrami operators from n samples on a d-dimensional manifold is n^{-2/(d+4)}, and graph Laplacians achieve this rate up to logarithmic factors.
