Geometric Means that preserve sparsity on homogeneous cones
(English)
[ 講演概要 ]
This talk starts from a simple question: how can one define a geometric mean for sparse positive definite matrices without destroying their zero pattern?
For the arrowhead pattern, this leads naturally to the five-dimensional Vinberg cone, a basic non-symmetric homogeneous cone.
I will present two intrinsic means on this cone: a Cholesky-Vinberg mean built from triangular Cholesky factors, and a logarithmic Vinberg mean built from global clan (Vinberg algebra) coordinates.
The first is tied to a flat affine geometry with torsion, while the second belongs to a torsion-free flat geometry.
I will also explain why these means differ from the classical Riemannian midpoint and why this difference is a genuinely non-symmetric phenomenon.
If time permits, I will give an application to quantum information theory.
